Two and two fifths divided by one and a half

8/5 or 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

1 1/2 = 3/2

Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...

12     3         12    2        24     8             3

—  ÷ —   =   — × —    =  —  = —   or  1  —

5       2         5     3        15      5             5

*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.
