Dividing fractions

In this lesson, we're going learn dividing fractions. Dividing fraction is bit difficult to understand in the starter but if you find the way to solve it, it will be easy.

 Now if you're dividing fractions, leave the first and make the second fraction a reciprocal, a reciprocal is flipping over, for example 3/4, if we do reciprocal, 3/4 turns into 4/3.

Example 1 is 6/8/ 4/5.
Now, we leave 6/8 and make 4/5, 5/4.
Then the working out is 6/8 x 5/4, 6 x 5 = 30 , 8 x 4 = 32.
Therefore the answer is 30/32 and we simplify by the common number that it can be divided equally, and is 15/16.

Second example is 6 / 3/6.
This time we make 6, 6 over 1 and flip 3/6.
Therefore 6/1 x 6/3 = 36/3.
Then we simplify by 3 because 3 can only divided by 3 or 1 in this case 36 needs to be divided by 3 because 36 and 3's common number is 3 so therefore the answer is 12.

  Third and last example is Divide 9 1/3 by 4/7.
Now the easiest way to do it is change 9 1/3 to improper fraction and is 28/3.
Then we flip 4/7 and is 7/4.
Therefore is 28/3 x 7/4.
Finally our answer is 196/12, but we forgot the one last thing to do, we simplify by the same number.
Then our answer is 16.333333333... but we're going to round it off to the nearest whole number.

* If there's a question which it has a mixed fraction, the easiest to it is change the mixed fraction to the improper fraction.
