Why do you find the reciprocal of fractions when dividing?
Most people find multiplication by a fraction easier than dividing by a fraction. Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. For example, 10 / (3/4) would require you to divide by 3/4. How many three-quarters in ten? Hmmm... Not that easy. Instead, try multiplying by 4/3 Much easier: 10*(4/3) = 40/3 = 13.33...

Why can quantities with different units be multiplied or divided?
well because You can always multiply and divide units by a number. For example, suppose you have four chairs but find that you need twice as many for a party. Here's how you represent this idea in math:4 chairs 2 = 8 chairsSimilarly, suppose you have 20 cherries and want to split them among four people. Here's how you represent this idea:20 cherries 4 = 5 cherriesBut you have to be careful when multiplying or dividing units by units. For example:2 apples 3 apples = ? WRONG!12 hats 6 hats = ? WRONG!Neither of these equations makes any sense. In these cases, multiplying or dividing by units is meaningless.In many cases, however, multiplying and dividing units is okay. For example, multiplying units of length(such as inches, miles, or meters) results in square units:3 inches 3 inches = 9 square inches10 miles 5 miles = 50 square miles100 meters 200 meters = 20,000 square metersSimilarly, here are some examples of when dividing units makes sense:12 slices of pizza 4 people = 3 slices of pizza/person140 miles 2 hours = 70 miles/hourIn these cases, you read the fraction slash (/) as per: slices of pizza per person or miles per hour.
