It's easier to multiply the reciprocal.
You divide the numurator by the denominator.
When dividing one fraction by another, invert the second fraction and multiply them.
"Dividing Fractions is easy as pie, flip the second and multiply." Flip the second fraction, and multiply, and reduce.
When you divide by a fraction, you are multiplying by it's reciprocal or opposite. So if you are dividing by 1/2, it is the same thing as multiplying by 2/1.
You don't need a common denominator to divide fractions.
That is correct. To divide by a half, you are actually multiplying by two. ■
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them by it.
You round the fraction up and find the value in that position.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor to reduce to its lowest equivalent fraction. For example, 169/260=13/20 after dividing the numerator and the denominator by 13.
you change all mixed numbers to improper fractions.
It is the basic law of algebra. When you multiply or divide both by the same number you do not change the value, as it is the same as multiplying or dividing by 1.
To divide 25 by 40, you can express it as a fraction: ( \frac{25}{40} ). Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5, gives you ( \frac{5}{8} ). In decimal form, dividing 25 by 40 results in 0.625.
