1/6 divided by 1/3 divided by 2/5=? How do I work this out?

 

(1/6) / (1/3) / (2/5) = Turn division into multiplication, thus:

1/6 x 3/1 x 5/2 =(1x3x5) / (6x1x2) =15/12 =1 1/4

Dividing a number is same as multiplying its reciprocal

Division of a fraction: Exchange the denominator and the numerator and change÷into×.

If there exists a number x, its reciprocal is1x

16÷13÷25=16×113×125=16×3×52=3×56×2=54OR=114
