Best Answer

(2)/(3/5) correct?

Well let's remember the laws of multiplying and dividing fractions. To divide a fraction you take the reciprocal and multiply. Let's use this here. Also remember that a whole number is the same as that number over 1 to make it a fraction. For instance in this case we will say 2 = 2/1 making the actual problem

(2/1)/(3/5)

Now we take the reciprocal of 3/5 (which is 5/3 because (3/5) * (5/3) =1) and multiply by it making the problem

(2/1) x (5/3)

Now multiply the top times the top and the bottom times the bottom and you get

(2*5)/(1*3) =10/3

There's the solution

10/3
