? Simplify your answer if possible.(1 point)

1 answer

To solve the expression \( 10 \div \frac{2}{5} \), you can rewrite the division of a fraction as multiplication by its reciprocal.

So,

\[ 10 \div \frac{2}{5} = 10 \times \frac{5}{2} \]

Now, calculate \( 10 \times \frac{5}{2} \):

\[ 10 \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{10 \times 5}{2} = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \]

Thus, the quotient of \( 10 \div \frac{2}{5} \) is

\[ \boxed{25} \]
