Sagot :

Answer:

[tex] = { \tt{ \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{7} }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{7}{3} }} \\ \\ = { \underline{ \tt{ \: \: \frac{14}{15} \: \: }}}[/tex]

Answer: B

2/5 ÷ 3/7

= 2/5 × 7/3

= 2 × 7/5 × 3

= 14/15

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
