To divide one fraction (the dividend) by another (the divisor), invert the divisor and multiply the fractions together: eg 2/35 ÷ 4/5 = 2/35 × 5/4 = (2×5)/(35×4) = 10/140 = 1/14
What type of fraction has a fraction in the numerator denominator or both?
A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator, denominator, or both. As with all fractions, it implies division, so apply the rules of dividing by a fraction, invert the divisor and multiply.
