To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of 1/5 = 5/1
So, now we have:
5/7 × 5/1 = 25/7
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (7).
25 ÷ 7 = 3 remainder 4
The whole number part is 3, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part, with the denominator staying the same.
Therefore, the answer as a mixed number is: 3 4/7
- 5/7 divided by 1/5 write the answer as a mixed number
