Answer:
1. C 2. D 3. A 4. B 5. B
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5/8 divided by 1/4
first flip the second fraction so: 5/8 divided by 4/1
then instead of divide make it multiplication
5/8 x 4/1 = 20/8
multiply. since this isn't lowest term we will divide it with 4 20/8 divide by 4 = 5/2 or 2 1/2
2. 1/6 divide 2/3.
just like the other one make the second flip the second fraction and make it multiplication
1/6 x 3/2 = 3/12 divde to 3 to make it lowest term
multiply
3/12 divide 3 = 1/4
3. 2/5 divide 9/10
just like the other one make the second flip the second fraction and make it multiplication
2/5 x 10/9 = 20/45 divide to 5 to make it lowest term 20/45 divide by 5 = 4/9
4. 3/8 divide by 5/12
just like the other one make the second flip the second fraction and make it multiplication
3/8 x 12/5 = 36/40 divide by 4 = 9/10
5. 12 divide by 4/5
just like the other one make the second flip the second fraction and make it multiplication also make the 12's denominator 1
12/1 x 5/4 = 60/4 divide it by 4 = 15/1 or just 15
