" ... multiply by the RECIPROCAL of the divisor.
Reciprocal just means that you flip the fraction... your fraction is -p/4 the reciprocal is 4/-p the reciprocal is extremely important when dividing fractions. because when you divide fractions you have to take the reciprocal of the bottom fraction and then multiply it to your top fraction to get your answer.
To divide two fractions, multiply the first by the reciprocal of the second.
To divide two fractions you multuply the first one by the reciprocal of the second fracton. The two countries have a reciprocal agreement. (That is a two-way agreement).
To divide a fraction by a fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.
Multiplying by a reciprocal
Me is actually not impossible divide fractions. You just take the reciprocal of the dividend and multiply.
You can search YouTube for "divide fractions", and find several.However, it isn't really that complicated; just remember the following simple rules:To divide one fraction by another fraction, take the reciprocal of the second fraction, then multiply.If you have mixed fractions, convert them both to improper fractions, then proceed as above (multiply by the reciprocal).

To divide a fraction by a fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.
Yes. One method for dividing fractions is to multiply the numerator fraction by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction.
It is similar because when you divide fractions you are technically multiplying the second number's reciprocal. (Turning the fraction the other way around)
You can divide fractions by multiplying them by their reciprocal. You take the bottom fraction and turn it over, making the denominator the numerator. Once you have done this, you can simply multiply.
