Solving $\frac{53}{38}\div\frac{5}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{38} \div \frac{5}{1} = \frac{53}{38} \times \frac{1}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 1 = 53$
• Multiply the Denominators: $38 \times 5 = 190$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{38} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{53}{190}$
