### Dividing Fractions

There are four steps:

• #### Example 1.      1/2 ÷ 3/4 =

• (a) swap the numerator and denominator of the second fraction around
(b) change the ÷ to a ×

1/2 × 4/3 =

(c) multiply the numerators, and multiply the denominators

= 4/6

(d) write fraction in its simplest form

= 2/3

• #### Example 2.      2/3 ÷ 5/6 =

• (a) swap the numerator and denominator of the second fraction around
(b) change the ÷ to a ×

2/3 × 6/5 =

(c) multiply the numerators, and multiply the denominators

= 12/15

(d) write fraction in its simplest form

= 4/5
