Just remember, we never really divide fractions, we always multiply by the inverse. So flip the second fraction and multiply the numerators and the denominators straight across.

I used to home school my son and I always told him to remember that division is multiplication backwards. So, flip one of the numbers upside down and multiply numerator X numerator and denomenator X denomenator.
