Answer: C. 5/2
Step-by-step explanation: So to multiply fractions you need to multiply the reciprocal. Here let me show you.
5 1
_ ÷_
8 4
To solve this, you need to 'flip the fraction'. the output would be the reciprocal. you 'flip the second fraction'. In this case it would be 1/4.
so the reciprocal of 1/4 would be 4
_
1
See what i did there?
Now put 4/1 and put that to replace 1/4.
5 4
_ x _
8 1
Once you have done that you can actually transform the division symbol and replace it with a multiply symbol! I already did this. Now just multiply
Remember top to bottom left to right.
5 x 4 = 20
_ _ _
8 x 1 = 8
It would be 20/8. if you simplify this you would get 5/2.
Hope this helps!
