Answer:

3/6 ÷ 4/8 =24/24 24/24 is also equal to 1 whole

Explanation:

First you need to change the division symbol into a mutliplication symbol.Then theres a method called KCP (Keep Change Flip).

  • Keep:Keep the 3/6
  • Change:Change ÷ into ×
  • Flip:Flip 4/8 to 8/4
  • Next the problem should look like this: 3/6 × 8/4
  • Then after that try to see if you can cross multiply(if you cant thats fine)
  • Then multiply the fractions,when you do that you should get 24/24
  • To make it easy you should simplify it,and when you simplify it you should get 1.

Answer:lets say the fraction is 3/4÷4/6 you would need to find the common denominator.To do that you would list the common factors which is 12 because 4×3 equals 12 and 6×2 equals 12. So then you fraction becomes 3/12÷4/12 now all you have to do is divide the numerator.So you divide 4÷3 which is 1 so your fraction becomes 1/12
