Best Answer

(a/b) divided by (c/d)

then

(a/b)/(c/d)

you take any one of the fractions and you "flip it" or the inverse

so let's say originally as we c/d then the inverse would be d/c

so now just multiply

(a/b)/(c/d)=(a*d)/(c*b)

It is not just in fractions. In general, division can be defined as multiplication by the reciprocal. For example, dividing by 5 is the same as multiplying by 0.2. However, it is mainly in calculations with fractions that this is normally used as a practical way of doing the calculations.
