How to divide fractions

1 Answer

Answer:

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, I use a method called Keep Change Flip. Let's use the example 1/2 divided by 3/4 as an example. First, you have to keep the first fraction the same. This is what you currently have: 1/2 / 3/4. Next, you have to change the divison sign into a multiplication symbol. Now, this is what it should look like: 1/2 x 3/4. Then, you have to flip the fraction 3/4 into 4/3. Now, you have 1/2 x 4/3. Multiply the fraction. If you don't know how to, multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. You should get 4/6. However, this isn't your final answer. You can simplify this by dividing by 2 to get 2/3. So, your answer is 2/3. Hope this helped you and let me know if you need more help! :D
