When dividing fractions the steps to take are : -
#1 ; Convert to Improper Fractions.
#2 ; Very Important ; change the sign to multiply and invert(turn over) the right hand fraction.
#3 Then proceed as for multiplication.
e.g.
2 1/2 divide 3/4 =
5/2 divide 3/4
= 5/2 X 4/3 NOTE what has happened.
Cancel down by '2'
5/1 x 2/3
10/3
3 1/3 The answer.

How do you put different fractions in increasing order?
Option 1: Find a common denominator for the two fractions. It need not be the least common denominator; for example, for two fractions, if you just multiply the two denominators, you get a common denominator. Convert all the fractions to the common denominator. Then you can compare. Option 2: Convert each fraction to decimal, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Then you can compare the decimals.
