take the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip it) then multiply the fraction any way you like, then simplify

Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

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.
