Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
4 2/5 = 22/5
22/5 divided by 1/2 = 22/5 times 2 = 44/5 = 8 4/5
4 2/5 = 4.4
4.4 divided by 1/2 = 4.4/.5 = 8.8 = 8 4/5
division by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of the fraction.
dividing by 1/2 is the same as multiplying by 2/1 or 2. Just flip the divisor upside down and multiply
4 2/5 divided by 1/2 = 4 2/5 times 2 = 8 4/5 (2 x 4 = 8 and 2 x 2/5 = 4/5)
