How to do it

Change everything to improper fractions, then keep, change, flip.

514÷212=214÷525\tfrac{1}{4} \div 2\tfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{21}{4} \div \dfrac{5}{2}change mixed numbers to improper fractions
214÷52=214×25=4220\dfrac{21}{4} \div \dfrac{5}{2} = \dfrac{21}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{42}{20}keep, change, flip
4220=2110\dfrac{42}{20} = 2\tfrac{1}{10}simplify (÷ 2)
