What is 70/50 Divided By 2/4

Solving $\frac{70}{50}\div\frac{2}{4}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{70}{50} \div \frac{2}{4} = \frac{70}{50} \times \frac{4}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $70 \times 4 = 280$
• Multiply the Denominators: $50 \times 2 = 100$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{70}{50} \times \frac{2}{4} = \frac{280}{100}$

Let's Simplify $\frac{280}{100}$

• Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of $280$ and $100$. The GCD of $280$ and $100$ is $20$.
• Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:$\frac{280 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{14}{5}$
