Tell you how to divid fractions?

Answer 1

When you divide fractions you want to change it to a multiplication problem. You do this by changing the second fraction to its receptorial and change the division sign to a multiplication sign. Here is an example: 8/10 divided by 3/5

*first switch it to multiplication

8/10 times 5/3

*solve

40/30

*simplify

40/30=4/3 or 1 1/3

Answer 2

Here is an example of fractional division.

[2 2/3] / [5 1/10]

First convert the mixed number to improper fractions.

[8/3] / [51/10 ]

Next apply the very important rule ' CHANGE THE SIGN TO MULTIPLY AND INVER (TURN OVER) THE RIGHT HAND FRACTION ' the proceed as multiplying fractions.

Hence

8/3 X 10/51

Cancel down , if possible ; cannot do in this case.

Hence 80/153 The answer!!!!!!

Answer 3

To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means you keep the first fraction the same, change the division sign to multiplication, and flip the second fraction upside down. For example, to divide 1/3 by 1/4, you would multiply 1/3 by 4/1, which equals 4/3 or 1 and 1/3.
