When dividing by a fraction, the second fraction (the divisor) is changed into its reciprocal by swapping the numerator and denominator over (turning it upside down) and then it is multiplied by the first number (fraction).
Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside-down(this is now a reciprocal).Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocalStep 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)
Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. A reciprocal fraction is effectively "turning it upside-down". So, to divide by a faction, you should do as stated; turn the fraction upside-down and multiply.
two divided by four = 2/4
It is: 2/3 and then dividing the numerator of 2 by the denominator of 3 = 0.666 .... recurring 6
It's just reverse simplifying. Most people would be asking, "how do you turn 4 10ths into 2 5ths?". So instead of DIVIDING the fraction by two, you would MULTIPLY the fraction by two.
4.9 = 49/10. We can transform it into fraction by multiplying and dividing by 10.
You turn a fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom. And you turn a decimal into a percent by multiplying the decimal by 100.

first you turn 15% into a fraction by dividing it by 100. which is 0.15 then you multiply that by 23.40 which gives you $3.51
two divided by four = 2/4
It is: 2/3 and then dividing the numerator of 2 by the denominator of 3 = 0.666 .... recurring 6
When the numerator and denominator of the division do not have a common factor.
It's just reverse simplifying. Most people would be asking, "how do you turn 4 10ths into 2 5ths?". So instead of DIVIDING the fraction by two, you would MULTIPLY the fraction by two.
If we convert 179 and 3/8 into a improper fraction, it becomes 1435/8. Also, 2 can be written as 2/1 in fraction form.To divide fractions, we must first switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. In this case, the second fraction is 2/1. By switching the numerator and denominator, it becomes 1/2.Then we can turn it into a multiplication problem. Like so:Your problem is now: 1435/8 * 1/2Simplify: 1435/1689.6875 OR 89 and 11/16
To divide fractions, turn the second fraction upside down and multiply across.
The answer depends on what you want to turn into a fraction. And, incidentally, I do not turn into a fraction.
