Dividing Fractions

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. To find the reciprocal of a fraction, flip the fraction over so that the denominator becomes the numerator and vice versa. After the “flipping” stage, all the considerations are exactly the same as multiplying fractions.

Example Frac1

Remember: DivFrac is the same as DivFrac2 . At this level of math the ÷ symbol is rarely used.
