it is called a reciprocol
Reciprocal
Taking the reciprocal.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
Take the 2nd fraction, switch the denominator with the numerator, multiply across, simplify.
If we convert 179 and 3/8 into a improper fraction, it becomes 1435/8. Also, 2 can be written as 2/1 in fraction form.To divide fractions, we must first switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. In this case, the second fraction is 2/1. By switching the numerator and denominator, it becomes 1/2.Then we can turn it into a multiplication problem. Like so:Your problem is now: 1435/8 * 1/2Simplify: 1435/1689.6875 OR 89 and 11/16
Reciprocal
It is called "taking the reciprocal".
Switch the numerator with the denominator.
Taking the reciprocal.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
You Switch The Numerator & Denominator of the second fraction and then you change the division to multiplication. For example: 1/2 divided by 2/3 becomes 1/2 times 3/2, and you would multiply straight across (numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator) to get 3/4.
You switch its numerator(top number) with its denominator(Bottom number)
Take the 2nd fraction, switch the denominator with the numerator, multiply across, simplify.
The resulting number is the reciprocal of the original number.
inversion
When dividing fractions with different denominators, first, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. To do this, you switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. After that, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together to simplify the result. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
Divide the top number(numerator) by the bottom number(denominator). 3/5 3 divided by 5 =.60 60%
