Question

Divide the following fractions:
5 over 3 divided by 7 over 6

  1. 10 over 7
  2. 5 over 7
  3. 8 over 7
  4. 6 over 7

hintHint:

The reciprocal of a fraction is a simple way of interchanging the fraction's numerator and denominator.

The correct answer is: 10 over 7


Here, we have to divide the given fractions.
Niw, 5/3 ÷ 7/6
= 5/3 × 6/7
= 5/1 × 2/7
=5×2 / 1×7
=10/7
Hence, the correct option is (a).

To remove the sign of division, we take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply the fraction (5/3) by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
