Fraction Division A2B082
1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{5x}{2y} \div \frac{3x}{4y}$$.
2. **Recall the rule for division of fractions:** Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So,
$$\frac{5x}{2y} \div \frac{3x}{4y} = \frac{5x}{2y} \times \frac{4y}{3x}$$.
3. **Multiply the numerators and denominators:**
$$= \frac{5x \times 4y}{2y \times 3x} = \frac{20xy}{6xy}$$.
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
Since $xy$ appears in both numerator and denominator, they cancel out:
$$= \frac{20}{6}$$.
5. **Reduce the fraction to simplest form:**
Divide numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 2:
$$= \frac{10}{3}$$.
**Final answer:** $$\frac{10}{3}$$.
This corresponds to option A.
