It is called "taking the reciprocal".
You switch its numerator(top number) with its denominator(Bottom number)
When dividing fractions with different denominators, first, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. To do this, you switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. After that, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together to simplify the result. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
-19/9. When you have a fraction divided by a fraction, you multiply the first fraction by the second fraction flipped over (switch the numerator and denominator). The sevens cancel out, and you are left with -19/9.
This is because dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
Unless the first number is zero, then this must ALWAYS be the case.
Reciprocal
it is called a reciprocol
Switch the numerator with the denominator.
Taking the reciprocal.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
You Switch The Numerator & Denominator of the second fraction and then you change the division to multiplication. For example: 1/2 divided by 2/3 becomes 1/2 times 3/2, and you would multiply straight across (numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator) to get 3/4.
You switch its numerator(top number) with its denominator(Bottom number)
Take the 2nd fraction, switch the denominator with the numerator, multiply across, simplify.
The resulting number is the reciprocal of the original number.
inversion
Divide the top number(numerator) by the bottom number(denominator). 3/5 3 divided by 5 =.60 60%
-19/9. When you have a fraction divided by a fraction, you multiply the first fraction by the second fraction flipped over (switch the numerator and denominator). The sevens cancel out, and you are left with -19/9.
