Cross canceling is a way to simplify or reduce fractions before multiplying them. For example, 2/4 x 1/6 can be reduced to 1/4 x 1/3 by cross canceling.

Multiplication of fractions is similar to multiplication of whole numbers. Often, multiplication of fractions can be made easier by first performing cancellation. Cancellation involves dividing both a numerator and a denominator by the same number. This is the same as dividing a fraction by one, and so it does not alter the answer. When cancelling, cross out the old terms and write in the new terms.
you cant divide mixed numbers
Yes it does. Dividing a by b, is not the same as dividing b by a.
No you do not.

what is dividing fractions and mixed numebers
To divide fractions, turn the second one over - that is, swap its numerator and denominator - and multiply. Nothing else is necessary. You cross multiply when you have a proportion, that is when you have two ratios that are equal.
whan ccabario
it means that if there are two or more fractions and there is the same number on both the top and bottum you cross them out example: 7/9+5/8+7/8 you would cross out the 7s and 8s and that is what canceling means :)
its Dividing fractions is easy as pie, just flip the second and multiply made by krissy
There is very little that is unique about the process of dividing fractions. Multiply by the reciprocal.
When you're dividing fractions ... or multiplying thrm ... they don't need to have the same denominator.
No.

Dividing fractions invole multiplacation because you can use it too see how many time's a number goes into another answer. And that is why dividing involves multiplacation.
