It is simple, just inverse the second and multiply. So if you have 5/5 divided by 1/2, switch the numerator and denomenator of the second number and then multiply. So now you have 5/5 multiplied by 2/1. Once you have this, multiply strait across. 5*2 is 10, and 5*1 is 5. So your new number 10/5. Now reduce, so 10 divided by 5 is 2, and 5 divided by 5 is 1. So your answer is 2, because 2/1=2.
