What is 81/88 Divided By 5/1

Solving $\frac{81}{88}\div\frac{5}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{81}{88} \div \frac{5}{1} = \frac{81}{88} \times \frac{1}{5}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $81 \times 1 = 81$
• Multiply the Denominators: $88 \times 5 = 440$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{81}{88} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{81}{440}$
