Answer 2

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation :

Dividing fractions is similar to multiplying the primary fraction with the aid of using the reciprocal of the second one fraction.

1. The first step to dividing fractions is to discover the reciprocal (opposite the numerator and denominator) of the second one fraction.
2. Next, multiply the 2 numerators.
3. Then, multiply the 2 denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed

17.5 ÷ 5

= 175/10 ÷ 5

(CONVERTING INTO COMMON FRACTION)

= 175/10× 1/5

(MULTIPLY RECIPROCAL OF FRACTION)

= 35 × 5×1 / 10× 5

= 35/10

= 3.5
