To solve the equation \( \frac{10}{1} : \frac{6}{5} \), we first rewrite it in a multiplication form by inverting the second fraction.
Here’s how it works step-by-step:
- Rewrite \( 10/1 \) as \( 10 \).
- Rewrite \( 6/5 \) as a fraction.
- Change the division to multiplication by inverting \( 6/5 \):
\[ 10 \div \frac{6}{5} = 10 \times \frac{5}{6} \]
- Now, perform the multiplication:
\[ 10 \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{10 \times 5}{6} = \frac{50}{6} \]
- Simplify \( \frac{50}{6} \):
\[ \frac{50}{6} = \frac{25}{3} \]
- To convert \( \frac{25}{3} \) into a mixed number, divide 25 by 3:
- 25 divided by 3 is 8, with a remainder of 1.
Thus,
\[ \frac{25}{3} = 8 \frac{1}{3} \]
So, \( \frac{10}{1} : \frac{6}{5} = 8 \frac{1}{3} \).
