Full solution

Q. Evaluate.\newline25÷17= \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{7}=
  1. Understanding division of fractions: Understand the operation of division between two fractions.\newlineTo divide one fraction by another, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping its numerator and denominator.
  2. Finding the reciprocal of a fraction: Find the reciprocal of the second fraction.\newlineThe reciprocal of (17)(\frac{1}{7}) is (71)(\frac{7}{1}), because we swap the numerator and the denominator.
  3. Multiplying fractions: Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.\newline(25)÷(17)(\frac{2}{5}) \div (\frac{1}{7}) becomes (25)×(71)(\frac{2}{5}) \times (\frac{7}{1}).
  4. Performing the multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newlineMultiply the numerators together and the denominators together.\newline(2×7)/(5×1)=14/5(2 \times 7) / (5 \times 1) = 14 / 5.
  5. Simplifying the result: Simplify the result if necessary.\newlineIn this case, 145\frac{14}{5} is already in its simplest form, so no further simplification is needed.
