Why fractions and division go together?
Because division of two numbers a and b is defined to return the fraction a/b, which is actually an equivalence class of pairs (n*a,n*b) for all nonzero n, such that x/1 is identified with x for all numbers x.
Do you flip the denominator when you multiply?
No, you flip the whole fraction which follows the division sign.
How is division related to fractions?
Fractions are representations of division. The line in a fraction can be read as "divided by." 3/4 = 3 divided by 4
Is fractions the same as division?
Indeed--fractions are merely an alternative way to represent division. example: 1/2 ----> one divided by two ----> 0.5 ;)
How are decimals and fractions related to division?
Decimals and fractions are ways of representing numbers. Division is an arithmetic operation between two numbers (and the inverse of the multiplication operation). One form of writing the division operation looks like a fraction.
