Answer:
2/5 ÷ 3/7
= 2/5 × 7/3
= 2 × 7/5 × 3
= 14/15
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
