When the numbers within a fraction are reversed, this is called a reciprocal. A reciprocal is useful when dividing fractions - dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.For example, 4 / 2/3 = 4 x 3/2 = 6.
A 'flipped' fraction is correctly named as a Reciprocal. e.g. 2 . The reciprocal is 1/2 The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.

you can change a fraction to a decimal by dividing the bottom number into the top number.

a fraction that can be changed by dividing it is called an improper fraction.
Reciprical.. it's not just flipped, it's also opposite
A 'flipped' fraction is correctly named as a Reciprocal. e.g. 2 . The reciprocal is 1/2 The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.
When dividing by a fraction, the answer is obtained by multiplying by the reciprocal.
a recipricol of a fraction is the fraction flipped over, with the numerator in the denominators place and vice versa.
it is for dividing
Dividing a friction is multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of a fraction is the numerator and the denominator switched around.
Multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor is how you simplify a fraction.
by dividing the numerator by the denominator
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).
