4 ÷ 2/7 = 4 x 7/2 = 14

How is the process used to divide fractions similar to the process used to multiply fractions?

The process of dividing fractions is similar to multiplying fractions in that both involve manipulating the fractions to simplify the operation. When multiplying, you multiply the numerators and the denominators directly. In division, you invert the second fraction (the divisor) and then multiply, which essentially turns the division into multiplication. Both processes emphasize working with numerators and denominators to arrive at a simplified result.
