What is 81/17 Divided By 5/2

Solving $\frac{81}{17}\div\frac{5}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{81}{17} \div \frac{5}{2} = \frac{81}{17} \times \frac{2}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $81 \times 2 = 162$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 5 = 85$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{81}{17} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{162}{85}$
