Question

Which of the following multiplication statement is equivalent to the division statement $\frac{3}{5}$ $÷$ $\frac{1}{2}$?

• A. $\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2}{1}$
• B. $\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{2}{1}$
• C. $\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2}{3}$
• D. $\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2}{1}$

$\frac{3}{5}$ $÷$ $\frac{1}{2}$

To change this division statement to multiplication statement, we can use the concept "keep-change-flip".

Hence, $\frac{3}{5}$ $÷$ $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$ $\times$ $\frac{2}{1}$
