What is dividing fractions

1 Answer

1 vote

Answer:

The simplest way I can describe dividing fractions is like multiplying fractions but upside down.

Example:

1/2 ÷ 1/3

To do this, the easiest way is to "flip" the second fraction.

It then becomes:

1/2 × 3/1

Then you just multiply across and you get a product of 3/2 or 1 1/2
