Question

Your friend incorrectly claims that 1/5 divided by 1/10 = 1/50. Find 1/5 divided by 1/10. Then describe what may have been your friend’s error.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5 divided by 1/10 is 15. The friend's error was that they did not keep, change, and flip. They did 1 divided by 1 which equals 1, and then 5 divided by 10 which equals 50. This is what gave them 1/50.
