You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1.6}{2\frac{2}{5}}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{1.6}{2\frac{2}{5}} = \frac{2}{3} = 0.\overline{6}\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{1.6}{2\frac{2}{5}}& = \left(1 + \frac{6}{10}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \left(1 + \frac{3}{5}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \frac{8}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}\]
