Answer:

The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the fractions if needed.

Explanation:

Ex: 1/2 ÷ 1/6

1/2 ÷ 6/1

1/2 ÷ 6

1/2 * 6
