How do you divide franctions?
To divide fractions, you multiply the first by the reciprocal of the second. That is, you exchange the numerator and the denominator in the second fraction, and then multiply.For example, 3/5 divided by 10/3 is the same as 3/5 x 3/10.
If 3 out of 5 is colored in what is the percent?
To determine what percentage of 5 is 3, simply divide the total number, five, by the number in question, in this case three, and multiply the result by 10. 5/3= .60 x 10 = 60%
How do you work out three fifths?
Divide by 5 and then multiply your answer by 3.
Why you do not need a common denominator to multiply?
When you multiply a fraction, you are dividing by the denominator. You do not need to change anything to divide. For example: 12 x 5/6 This is saying, take 12 and multiply by 5 and divide it by 6. and in 3/4 x 5/6 You are saying, multiply 3 and 5 then divide by 4 and 6. When you divide by a 4 and by a 6 are are actually dividing by the product of 4 and 6. So, all you have to do is multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators and do any reducing if needed. So, 3/4 x 5/6 = 15/24 = 5/8
How can you divide in math?
You can learn to divide in math by seeing if a number can divide into another evenly. If I said 10 divided by 3, that would be impossible, for it can't divide into 10 evenly. If I said 10 divided by 2 it would be 5 because 2x5=10. You must also know how to multiply to do division.
