 DIVIDING FRACTIONS

Dividing fractions is very similar to

multiplying fractions, you even use
multiplication. The one change is
that you have to take the reciprocal
of the divisor. Then you proceed with
the problem just as if you were
multiplying.

Taking the reciprocal:

To get the reciprocal, invert the

1 divided by the fraction. For
example, if the fraction is 2/3
then the reciprocal
. is 3/2.
