Subtract the powers. e.f. 2^(3 ) divide 2^(5) = 2^(3 - 5) = 2^(-2)
2 over 5 as a decimal is 0.4. You have to divide 2 by 5 to get the answer. Put the 2 inside and the 5 outside
6 x 2/5 = 12/5 or 2 and 2/5
It is: 11/5 = 2.5 or 2 and 1/2
1/5

You divide 2 by 5.
800 Divide by two. 400,2 Divide by two. 200,2,2 Divide by two. 100,2,2,2 Divide by two. 50,2,2,2,2 Divide by two. 25,2,2,2,2,2 Divide by five. 5,5,2,2,2,2,2 Stop. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 800
to divide a number by any fraction you can multiply by the reciprocal ex) 5/(1/2)=5*(2/1)=5*2=10
Simplify the denominators and divide the numerators. Example: 8/5 ÷ 2/5 = 8/2 = 4 Check: 8/5 ÷ 2/5 = 8/5 x 5/2 = 8/2 = 4
6 x 2/5 = 12/5 or 2 and 2/5
Divide the denominator into the numerator, and voila! Example: 7/5= 1 2/5 one and two fifths.
It is: 11/5 = 2.5 or 2 and 1/2
