What is 11/24 Divided By 2/5

Solving $\frac{11}{24}\div\frac{2}{5}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{11}{24} \div \frac{2}{5} = \frac{11}{24} \times \frac{5}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $11 \times 5 = 55$
• Multiply the Denominators: $24 \times 2 = 48$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{11}{24} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{55}{48}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{55}{48}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $55$ and $48$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{11}{24}\div\frac{2}{5} = \frac{55}{48}$
