When dividing fractions, what you do, is turn it into multipcation. You use the multiplicitve inverse (reciprocal) to multiply.

For example:

3/7÷ 5/8 = 3/7×8/5

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction. Let's try an example.

\frac{1}{2} ÷ \frac{5}{9} can be rewritten as \frac{1}{2} × \frac{9}{5}.

Now, we are simply multiplying fractions.

Multiply across the numerators and the denominators

\frac{1}{2} × \frac{9}{5} = \frac{9}{10}

Therefore, \frac{1}{2} ÷ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{9}{10}

The scale model of a skyscraper being built is 4.2 feet tall. When it is finished, the skyscraper will be 525 meters tall. What
luda_lava [24]
There are two scales that may be possible for this scale model; one where it's for every foot and one where it's for every meter.
The for every foot would be better to find out since the scale would be easier to use.
First, you have to divide each sided by 4.2, since you want to find how many meters for each foot.
4.2 \div 4.2 = 1 \\ 525 \div 4.2 = 125
For every 1 foot used in the model, the actual will be 125 meters.
1 ft = 125 m
