Solve xdiv1/8=1/2div1/5

$$x \div \frac{ 1 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \div \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5}{16}=0.3125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide \frac{1}{2} by \frac{1}{5} by multiplying \frac{1}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{5}.

$$\frac{x}{\frac{1}{8}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 5$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 5 to get \frac{5}{2}.

$$\frac{x}{\frac{1}{8}}=\frac{5}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{1}{8}.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Multiply \frac{5}{2} times \frac{1}{8} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x=\frac{5\times 1}{2\times 8}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{5\times 1}{2\times 8}.

$$x=\frac{5}{16}$$
