Ok so when you divide fraction, you need to always apply KCF

3. Nnesha

$\huge\rm \frac{ \frac{ a }{ b } }{ \frac{ c }{ d } } =\frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{ d }{ c}$ multiply top fraction with the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

the answer is 18/25 and ill explain now why

5. Nnesha

first step) explain 2nd) let them answer it. your teacher will never allow you to check answer first frm the book

So you first have 9/5 divided by 5/2. You have to do kcf (keep, change ,flip) whenever you have to divide . So keep 9/5 the same. CHANGE the sign from division to multiplication and FLIP the fraction 5/2 to 2/5. Now your equation is 9/5 times 2/5. 9 times 2 is 18 and 5 times 5 is 25... Take a look at the drawing. |dw:1438885296622:dw|
