How do you divide a ratio?

Answer 1

2. Suppose you wanted to divide 3/5 by 7.

Now, dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by that number's reciprocal.

So the above example becomes 3/5 x 1/7, which equals 3/35. (for 5x7=35).

Practice with a few similar examples any you'll get familiar with the process.

AND as always, examine your answer to see if it makes sense!

In the above example, one seventh of 3/5 is going to be pretty small.

1. by dividing the 2 numbes between each other, and then multiply them both, and with ur answer u multiply it by either 1,2,3,4,5.
