how do I say in english for this one: 2/78, or 5/65?

Question

For example: 2+3 (2 add 3 is...), 40:5 (forty divided by 5 is...)

Answer 1

2/78 2 divided by 78
5/65 5 over/divided by 65

2+3 2 plus 3

40/5 = 40 divided by 5 is 8

Answer 2

You can look at them as fractions and say
2/78 ==> two seventy-eighths
5/65 ==> five sixty-fifths

or view them as divisions,

2/78 ==> 2 divided by 78 is
5/65 ==> 5 divided by 65 is

40:5 is pretty much considered an archaic form. I learned it in terms of ratios and proportions as "40 is to 5". For example:
40:5 :: 8:1 reads 40 is to 5 as 8 is to 1
In modern usage, it becomes
40/5 = 8/1

Answer 3

2 divided by 78 is? or 2 over 78 is ?

Answer 4

2/78 = 1 over 39 OR 1 divided by 39.

5/65 = 1 over 13 OR 1 divided by 13.

Both need to be reduced first.

Answer 5

For addition function say 2 plus 3 equals 5
For division function say 40 divided by / over 5 equals 8
For multiplication function say 3 multiplied by 2 equals 6
For subtraction say 2 subtracted from 5 equals 3 or say 5 minus 2 equals 3

Good Luck

Answer 6

2 over 78?

Answer 7

For me, i've always said Numerator over Denominator, so 2/78 would be said for me as 2 over 78, not that i've paid to much attention to how i pronounce my maths, its the reason i'm not doing A-Level English :D
