Change them into improper fractions. Invert the second fraction and multiply them together. Reduce if necessary.
It is the same as dividing two positive mixed fractions except that at the end of it all, you put a negative sign in front.
It is convenient to convert both mixed fractions into improper fractions (numerator larger than denominator). To divide, multiply using the reciprocal of the divisor.Example:To divide 53/5 by 42/3 :Changing the mixed numbers to improper fractions gives the division28/5 divided by 14/3To divide by a fraction, you can invert its values (multiply by the reciprocal), giving28/5 x 3/14Multiply the numerators 28 x 3 = 84 and the denominators 5 x 14 = 70The answer is 84/70 which reduces to 1 14/70 or 1 1/5
We deny the premise and maintain that you can divide fractions.
It is a process by which the product of mixed fractions is calculated.
