What is 50/61 Divided By 1/5

Solving $\frac{50}{61}\div\frac{1}{5}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{50}{61} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{50}{61} \times \frac{5}{1}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $50 \times 5 = 250$
• Multiply the Denominators: $61 \times 1 = 61$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{50}{61} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{250}{61}$
