Dividing Fractions
Dividing fractions looks hard but is a lot easier than you think! Let's take two fractions: 1/4 and 3/8. If you are asked to divide 1/4 by 3/8 the easiest way to do this is to flip the 3/8 round to give 8/3. Now you can multiply the fractions so we have 1/4 x 8/3. For multiplying fractions we just multiply the top numbers and multiply the bottom numbers. In our example this would give 8/12. BUT we aren't done there... As you can hopefully see we are able to simplify this fraction. Let's divide the top and bottom number by 4 so we get 2/3. This is our final answer.
