To divide 5/7 by 5/2, we can multiply the numerator of the first fraction (5) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (2/5) and the denominator of the first fraction (7) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (2/5):
(5/7) ÷ (5/2) = (5/7) * (2/5) = (5 * 2) / (7 * 5) = 10/35
To simplify the fraction 10/35, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
10/35 = (10 ÷ 5) / (35 ÷ 5) = 2/7
Therefore, 5/7 ÷ 5/2 in simplest form is 2/7.
(5/7) ÷ (5/2) = (5/7) * (2/5) = (5 * 2) / (7 * 5) = 10/35
To simplify the fraction 10/35, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
10/35 = (10 ÷ 5) / (35 ÷ 5) = 2/7
Therefore, 5/7 ÷ 5/2 in simplest form is 2/7.
