What else can I help you with?
Does dividing by a negative equal multiplying?
No, it only multiplies when you divide by fractions
How is multiplying mixed numbers different than multiplying fractions?
if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
Can you simplify before you divide fractions?
no
How do you dive fractions by fractions?
You divide fractions by fractions by multiplying by the inverse. For instance, 1/3 divided by 3/4 is the same as 1/3 multiplied by 4/3, which is 4/9.
What is cross cancelling when you times fractions?
Cross cancelling is a simplification method used when multiplying fractions. It involves reducing the numerators and denominators across the fractions before performing the multiplication. By dividing common factors, you can simplify the calculation, making it easier and quicker to find the product. For example, in the multiplication of ( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} ), if ( a ) and ( d ) share a common factor, you can divide both by that factor before multiplying the fractions.
What are you doing when you divide fractions?
Multiplying by a reciprocal
How is dividing fractions similar to multiplying fractions?
It is similar because when you divide fractions you are technically multiplying the second number's reciprocal. (Turning the fraction the other way around)

Why is the number larger when you divide fractions?
Because it's the same as multiplying the inverse. Dividing something by one third is the same as multiplying it by three. The number will get larger.
Division of fractions?
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.
Is there a trick to multiplying mixed numbers?
you have to turn them into improper fractions before you multiply them.
