what is 5 x 4 2/12 divided by 4 x 5 14/ 16

Answer 1

To solve the expression:

5 x 4 2/12 divided by 4 x 5 14/16,

we first simplify each fraction:

4 2/12 = 50/12,

5 14/16 = 94/16.

Next, we multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

5 x 50/12 ÷ 4 x 94/16

= 250/12 ÷ 376/16

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal:

= 250/12 x 16/376

Now, we simplify each fraction:

250/12 = 125/6

16/376 = 2/47

Multiplying the fractions:

125/6 x 2/47 = 250/282

This fraction cannot be simplified any further.

Therefore, 5 x 4 2/12 divided by 4 x 5 14/16 is equal to 250/282.
