multiply by the reciprocal.
keep change flip
keep the first fraction, change the sign to multiplication and flip the other fraction
for ex: 1/2 divided by 1/3
= 1/2 times 3/1
= 1 times 3 is 3 and 2 times 1 is 2
= 3/2

The easiest way is by using a calculator, but if you have to do it by hand, then find the reciprocal of both fractions and multiply the numerators. Then multiply the denominators. Then simplify your answer
