Answers

Answered by GPT 3.5
To simplify the expression 20/9 ÷ 5/36, we can multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor:

(20/9) ÷ (5/36)
= (20/9) × (36/5)

Now, we can simplify by canceling out common factors:
(2 * 10) / (3 * 3) × (6 * 6) / 5
= 20/3 × 36/5

Multiplying the numerators gives us:
= (20 × 36) / (3 × 5)

= 720 / 15

Finally, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 15:
= 48

Therefore, the simplified form of 20/9 ÷ 5/36 is 48.
