This question expects a fraction answer; decimals are not always exact, because they fail to terminate. By trying to get a decimal answer, you are probably confusing yourself.

You need to divide 7 by 36/5; that means multiplying 7/1 by 5/36, not multiplying 36/5 by 7/1. And your decimal answer is 9/7, which suggests you somehow have 7 on the bottom.

Please show your current work, in fraction form, so we can see where you are still going wrong.

Is it 36/4 or 36/5

A/b x d/c

I meant in terms of the problem you are asking.

You have [math]\dfrac{15}{1} \div \dfrac{12}{25}[/math]So let a = 15, b = 1, c = 12, and d = 25.

Now try the calculation.

Is it 36/4 or 36/5

You're dividing 7 by 36/5, right? There is no 36/4.

This time you seem to have made an error before even getting to that, changing 9 * 4/5 (which before you did correctly as 36/5) to 9 * 5/4, and then doing that wrong.

Take your time, and check each step you take to see if you changed something.
