You use a reciprical in dividing fractions. 1st you write down the problem. then you flip over the 2nd fraction and multiply the 1st fraction with the second fraction, and there is your answer,
When you divide fractions, you actually multiply them and use the reciprical. For example: 3/8 divided by 1/5 3/8 x 5/1 ------> 5/1 is the reciprical of 1/5 (you just flip them) so 3/8 x 5/1=15/8 which = 1 and 7/8 <------that is your answer
take 1 and divide it by 8, then just use that number! you cant just use the internet for everything! LOL.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
One simple way is to flip the second fraction over (use its reciprocal) and multiply them.
