Flip the second fraction and then multiply across, first the numerators, then the denominators. Simplify if necessary. If one fraction is negative, (or, if you are dividing multiple fractions and an odd amount of them are negative), then make your answer negative.

An experienced window washer can wash all the windows in Mike’s house in 2 hours, while a new trainee can wash all the windows i
Flauer [41]

The experienced window washer can wash all the windows in Mike’s house in 2 hours, which implies that in 1 hour he completes 1/2 of the job.

By the same logic, the new trainee completes 1/7 of the job in one hour.

If they work together, they complete

\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7}{14}+\dfrac{2}{14}=\dfrac{9}{14}

of the job in one hour, meaning that they complete the job in 14/9 of a hour.
