You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5.2}{2\frac{2}{5}}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{5.2}{2\frac{2}{5}} = \frac{13}{6} = 2.1\overline{6}\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{5.2}{2\frac{2}{5}}& = \left(5 + \frac{2}{10}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \left(5 + \frac{1}{5}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \frac{26}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2\frac{2}{5}}\\& = \frac{13}{6}\end{aligned}\]
