The method for dividing fractions is Keep Flip Change

3 4/5 is equal to 19/5 because you multiply 5*3+4=19. KEEP

(this is just making it into an improper fraction)

The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4 because you FLIP the numerator and denominator.

Now you CHANGE the division sign to multiplication.

So you get 19/5 * 4

19 *4=76

5 *1=5

The answer is 76/5= 15.2

Hope this helps :)
