If fraction is divides with decimal answer will be in fraction or decimal

Solution: 

If for example if a fraction$\frac{2}{3}$ is divided by a decimal say 0.5 the answer can written either as a fraction or a decimal as we like.

$\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{0.5}$   = $\frac{2}{3} \times\frac{1}{0.5}$ 

= $\frac{2}{1.5}$

= $\frac{20}{15}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ as a fraction

= 1.333..as a decimal

So, the answer can be written both as a decimal and as a fraction.
