What is 70/60 Divided By 5/2

Solving $\frac{70}{60}\div\frac{5}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{70}{60} \div \frac{5}{2} = \frac{70}{60} \times \frac{2}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $70 \times 2 = 140$
• Multiply the Denominators: $60 \times 5 = 300$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{70}{60} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{140}{300}$

Let's Simplify $\frac{140}{300}$

• Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of $140$ and $300$. The GCD of $140$ and $300$ is $20$.
• Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:$\frac{140 \div 20}{300 \div 20} = \frac{7}{15}$

Answer $\frac{70}{60}\div\frac{5}{2} = \frac{7}{15}$
