How many two fifths are in 1?

Answer 1

5/5 equals one; the denominator decides how many equal pieces of the whole will constitute the whole. The answer is 2 1/2. 2 1/2 equals 2.5, and 2/5 equals .4. 2 1/2 times 2/5 equals 1. Or, 2.5 times .4 equals 1. Another way to look at it is this. The numerator of 2/5 is 2. What do I have to multiply the fraction 2/5 by in order to make the numerator equal to 5? The answer is 2.5; 2.5 times 2 equals 5. Another way: a fraction times its reciprocal equals 1. 2/5 has the reciprocal 5/2. [5/2 equals 2 and 1/2]. 2/5 times 5/2 equals 10/10, which equals 1.

Answer 2

To find out how many two-fifths are in 1, we need to divide 1 by 2/5. To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal, so 1 divided by 2/5 is the same as 1 multiplied by 5/2. This gives us 5/2, which simplifies to 2.5. Therefore, there are 2.5 two-fifths in 1.

Answer 3

Well, honey, if you want to divide 1 by 2/5, you just need to remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So, 1 divided by 2/5 is the same as 1 times 5/2, which equals 2.5. So, there you have it, darling, 1 contains 2.5 two-fifths.
