How to solve it when an integer is divided by a fraction? You multiply the integer with the fraction's reciprocal. so, 16 divided by 5/2 is equal to 16 multiplied by 2/5 16 / (5/2) = 16 * 2 / 5 = (16*2) / 5 = 32/5 Other way to see it is simply as 16 / (5/2) = 16 / 2.5 = 16/2.5 * 2/2 = 32/5<br><b>References : </b><br> You can see 16/5/2 as 16 divided by 5/2.
How to solve it when an integer is divided by a fraction?
You multiply the integer with the fraction’s reciprocal.
so, 16 divided by 5/2 is equal to 16 multiplied by 2/5

16 / (5/2) = 16 * 2 / 5 = (16*2) / 5 = 32/5

Other way to see it is simply as
16 / (5/2) = 16 / 2.5 = 16/2.5 * 2/2 = 32/5

In the case of 16 divided by 5/2, multiply the 16 by 2 = 32/5 = 6.4 If you had 4 divided by 3/8, you would multiply the 4 by 8, giving 32/3 = 10.67<br><b>References : </b><br> Multiply the numerator of the main fraction by the denominator of the fraction in the main denominator.

(16/1)/(5/2) is the same as (16/1)*(2/5) [I swapped the 5 and 2 around]. 3. So (16/1)*(2/5) equals to (16*2)/(1*5) = 32/5<br><b>References : </b><br>Mathematical Methods Student So you are dividing 16 by 5/2…
