To Divide Fractions: Invert (i.e. turn over) the denominator fraction and multiply the fractions Multiply the numerators of the fractions Multiply the denominators of the fractions Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators Simplify the Fraction Example: Divide 2/9 and 3/12 Invert the denominator fraction and multiply (2/9 ÷ 3/12 = 2/9 * 12/3) Multiply the numerators (2*12=24) Multiply the denominators (9*3=27) Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators (24/27) Simplify the Fraction (24/27 = 8/9) The Easy Way. After inverting, it is often simplest to "cancel" before doing the multiplication. Cancelling is dividing one factor of the numerator and one factor of the denominator by the same number. For example: 2/9 ÷ 3/12 = 2/9*12/3 = (2*12)/(9*3) = (2*4)/(3*3) = 8/9 Source: www.aaamath.com

Explain why the definition of a fraction restricts the denominator to being a nonzero integer?
You can't divide by zero. 3/4 is 3 divided by 4 or 0.75. 7/4 is 7 divided by 4 or 1.75
What is three fourths divided by one sixth?
To divide a fraction by a fraction you multiply the first fraction, or dividend (number being divided), by the reciprocal (reversed, numerator becomes denominator and denominator becomes numerator) of the divisor (number dividing the divisor). In this case, 3/4 would be multiplied by 6/1 and the answer would be 18/4. Hope this helps :)
What is 6 over 7 divided by 36 over 7?
To divide a fraction by a fraction you multiply the first fraction, or dividend (number being divided), by the reciprocal (reversed, numerator becomes denominator and denominator becomes numerator) of the divisor (number dividing the divisor). In this case, 6/7 would be multiplied by 7/36 and the answer would be 42/252, which can be reduced to 1/6. Hope this helps :)
What does the line in the middle of a fraction mean?
