Question :

What is 5/8 divided by 1/4?

Answer :

• 5/2 or 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal of 1/4 :

After it, reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor (GCF) 4 :

$\frac{5}{8} \times 4 = \frac{5}{2}$

The final answer will be :

$\frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}$
