how do u divide fractions?

Answer 1

you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction

Answer 2

Dividing fraction is like multiplying with a twist... if you are dividing 1/2 divided by 1/3 you would set it up 1/2 X 3/1 then multiply it just like you would mulitply a fraction.... You only flip the second number in the division problem. So flip the number change the divide sign to a mulitpy sign and do just that.

Answer 3

well which if you have 1 10/12 divided by 3 15/36 wat you would do is
(take 12 X1= 12; 12+10=22; so u now have 22/12 )
(NEXT take 36X 3= 108; 108+15= 123; so now your have 123/36
BUT SINCE YOUR dividing u have to fip around 123/12 into 36/123
(its called the recepacalle: so everytime you divide think RECEPACALE Flipacall)

now mulitiply
22 X36= 792; next 12X123= 1476 :792/1476

now think of the LCD:
WHICH IS 12

66/123 NOW GO LOWER US 3
66 DIVIDED BY 3 :22
123 DIVIDED BY 3 : 41
YOUR ANWSER IS ____22/41

22/41

Answer 4

you take the second fraction and flip it over then multiply top and bottom.
1/2 / 5/8
1/2 x 8/5 1x8 / 2x5
8/10
4/5

Answer 5

think you have to divide .. 7/5 divided by 2/4
so you have to do only this
change the 2/4 in to 4/2 by making it upside down
and now
7/5 * 4/2

you see 7/5 diviided by 2/4.. =.. 7/5 * 4/2
so now ..

7/5 * 4/2
=7*4/5*2
=28/10



use this ....

Answer 6

you take the second fraction and flip it upside down and now multiply it with the first fraction

Answer 7

Very easy. I myself am going into the seventh grade math and am going into 5th grade. You multiply by the reciprocal. An example: The reciprocal of four fifths is five over four.

Answer 8

K.C.F

KEEP the first fraction. CHANGE the division sign to a multiplication sign. and FLIP the second to its reciprical.
