When you divide fractions, you have to "multiply fraction's" by the reciprocal. In order to solve a division-fraction problem you have to use KCF. (Keep, Change, Flip)

Example:


(2)/(3) ÷ (5)/(6)=

2×6=12÷3=4
3×5=15÷3=5

=4/5

Hope this helps!

When dividing fractions, you have to multiply by the reciprocal.

An example operation would work out like this:


(1)/(2) / (3)/(4)

The reciprocal of 3/4 would be 4/3, so multiply by the reciprocal:


(1)/(2) * (4)/(3)
