Math Problem Statement

6 1 ​ ÷ 9 5 ​

Solution

To solve the division of fractions:

61÷95\frac{6}{1} \div \frac{9}{5}

The rule for dividing fractions is to multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So we rewrite the expression as:

61×59\frac{6}{1} \times \frac{5}{9}

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

6×51×9=309\frac{6 \times 5}{1 \times 9} = \frac{30}{9}

Finally, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3:

30÷39÷3=103\frac{30 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{10}{3}

Thus, the result is:

103\frac{10}{3}
