Question

Do you need a common denominator to divide fractions

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

To divide fractions you need to do the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction and them multiply.

Eg.
`(1)/(3)` ÷
`(2)/(4)`

This is the same thing as
`(1)/(3)` ×
`(4)/(2)`

Which equals
`(4)/(6)` and if simplified, it will be
`(2)/(3)`

So you don't need a common denominator to divide, you have to use the method showed above.
