Question

Explain dividing fractions

Answer 1

Dividing a fraction by another fraction is the same as multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the other. We get the reciprocal of a fraction by interchanging its numerator and denominator. For example: 3/4 divided by 1/8 it would turn into 3/4 x 8/1 = 24/4 = 6. you can use something called keep change flip. 3/4(keep the first fraction) x( change the sign) 8/1(flip the second fraction)

Answer 2

See below

Explanation:

Dividing fractions if dividing a fraction by a whole number or another fraction. When dividing fraction by fraction, make sure to flip to numerator and denominator on the fraction that is getting divided.

Example:

1/2 / 1/4

= 1/2 / 4/1

= 1/8.

When dividing whole numbers, You are not flipping it. The fraction or whole number stays the exact same.

Example:

1/2 / 4

= 1/8.
