Solving $\frac{53}{61}\div\frac{5}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{53}{61} \div \frac{5}{2} = \frac{53}{61} \times \frac{2}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $53 \times 2 = 106$
• Multiply the Denominators: $61 \times 5 = 305$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{53}{61} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{106}{305}$
