Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down

(this is now a reciprocal).

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal

Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)

Example:

1/2 ÷ 1/6

Step 1. Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal):

1/6 becomes 6/1

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:

(multiply tops ...)

1/2 × 6/1 = 1 × 6/2 × 1 = 6/2

(... multiply bottoms)

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

6/2 = 3

This is how you divide fractions. Now try it your self!
