Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to divide fractions, you'll have to find the recriprocal of 2/5. That is 5/2. So do 1/7 x 5/2 = 5/14.
So now find 5/14 - 1/7.
1/7 converted to a denominator of 14 is 2/14.
So we have 5/14-2/14 = 3/14. That is your answer.
The first thing that we should do is turn this into a mathematical formula.
[tex]\frac{1}{7} / (\frac{2}{5} -\frac{1}{7} ) = \frac{1}{7} /(\frac{9}{35} )[/tex] .
This is more generally written as
[tex]7(\frac{9}{35}) = \frac{9}{5}[/tex]
So, our answer is 9/5 or 1.8
