It depends on the numbers. For example, dividing by 1 1/2 (one and a half) is exactly the same as dividing by 3/2, since both represent the same number.In general, if you divide by a larger number, the result will be less.
what is dividing fractions and mixed numebers
if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
Multiplying mixed numbers involves first converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions, while multiplying fractions directly uses the fractions in their given form. After conversion, the process for both is the same: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The final step when dealing with mixed numbers includes converting the improper fraction back to a mixed number if needed. This added step distinguishes the two processes.
Because common denominators allow adding and subtracting of numerators. Improper fractions also have simplified rules over mixed numbers when performing multiplication and division.
Yes.

Yes.
you have to turn them into improper fractions before you multiply them.
You change the mixed number into an inproper fraction.
When dividing mixed numbers and fractions you have toLeave the first pair of numbers.Change the division symbol into a multiplication symbol.Then flip the other pair of numbers.Last SOLVE!
A common misconception is that multiplying fractions always results in a smaller number. While it is true that multiplying two proper fractions (less than one) results in a smaller fraction, multiplying a fraction by a mixed number can yield a larger product if the mixed number is greater than one. Therefore, the statement "Multiplying fractions always results in a smaller number" is not true.
To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. For mixed numbers, first convert them into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. After converting, follow the same process of multiplying the numerators and denominators, and simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.
