What is 50/60 Divided By 7/2

Solving $\frac{50}{60}\div\frac{7}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{60} \div \frac{7}{2} = \frac{50}{60} \times \frac{2}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 2 = 100$
• Multiply the Denominators: $60 \times 7 = 420$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{60} \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{100}{420}$

Let's Simplify $\frac{100}{420}$

• Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of $100$ and $420$. The GCD of $100$ and $420$ is $20$.
• Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:$\frac{100 \div 20}{420 \div 20} = \frac{5}{21}$

Answer $\frac{50}{60}\div\frac{7}{2} = \frac{5}{21}$
