Step-by-Step Solution

Let's write the division exercise:

2:10 2:10

Now let's write it in the form of a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

210 \frac{2}{10}

We'll divide both the numerator and denominator by a number that divides into both of them, in this case, the number is 2:

2:210:2=15 \frac{2:2}{10:2}=\frac{1}{5}
