What is 50/60 Divided By 2/3

Solving $\frac{50}{60}\div\frac{2}{3}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{60} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{50}{60} \times \frac{3}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 3 = 150$
• Multiply the Denominators: $60 \times 2 = 120$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{60} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{150}{120}$

Let's Simplify $\frac{150}{120}$

• Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of $150$ and $120$. The GCD of $150$ and $120$ is $30$.
• Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:$\frac{150 \div 30}{120 \div 30} = \frac{5}{4}$
