Question

Could somebody explain dividing fractions to me?

Answer 1

ok so

lets say

1 2/4 divided by 1/3

okay so first you change the 1 2/4 into a improper fraction

1 2/4 = 6/4

okay then you find a common denominator for both of them so you multiply 6 and 4 times 3 and you multiply 1 and 3 times 4

so the question is now

18/12 divided by 4/12

then you divide the numerator by numerator and the denominator stays the same

heres another way:

you change the number to improper if not already

18/12 divided by 4/12

and then you switch the 4 and the 12 around so its now

18/12 divided by 12/4 and then u change the divide sign into a multiply sign which is

18/12 times 12/4 and then u multiply the numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator

sorry if this is confusing, im bad at explaining >_<

Answer 2

so all you do is cross flip and multiply

Explanation:

what that means is you flip the fraction on the right and then cross multiply the two fractions

I hope this helps
