Change each of your mixed fractions to an improper fraction, then divide the first by the second.
Remember to divide fraction #1 by fraction #2, you multiply fraction #1 by the reciprocal of fraction #2.

5 3/5 = 23/5 2 1/10 = 21/10 Now we divide 23/5 by 21/10. To divide fractions, we multiply 23/5 by the reciprocal of 21/10. The reciprocal of 21/10 is 10/21. So, 23/5 ÷ 21/10 = (23/5)(10/21) = (23 × 10)/(5 × 21) = 230/105 We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5. Therefore, the ratio of 5 3/5 to 2 1/10 in simplest form is 46/21
