How do I divide fractions?
If you have a fraction divided by another fractions things can get tricky, but there is an easy way to avoid getting triple decker fractions! Have a look at this example: (1/2) / (2/5) = (1/2) x (5/2) = (5/4) Can you see what we have done here? We have flipped the fraction we are dividing by, and change the divide sign to a multiply. Then, we just multiply the numerators (numbers on the top) and the denominators (numbers on the bottom). Lets try some more examples.
