What is 50/60 Divided By 2/4

Solving $\frac{50}{60}\div\frac{2}{4}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{60} \div \frac{2}{4} = \frac{50}{60} \times \frac{4}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 4 = 200$
• Multiply the Denominators: $60 \times 2 = 120$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{60} \times \frac{2}{4} = \frac{200}{120}$

Let's Simplify $\frac{200}{120}$

• Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of $200$ and $120$. The GCD of $200$ and $120$ is $40$.
• Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:$\frac{200 \div 40}{120 \div 40} = \frac{5}{3}$

Answer $\frac{50}{60}\div\frac{2}{4} = \frac{5}{3}$
