Answer 1

Answer: D. Dividing

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide a number ( whether fraction or not ) by a fraction, then we first change the operator to multiplication and  reciprocate the second fraction.

Let's take an example:

Suppose we have h division problem in fraction as $\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{4}{9}$

Then, our first step would be to change division operator (÷) by multiplication operator (×) and then ×reciprocate the second fraction , so the next step will become $\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{9}{4}$ , Now cancel out 3 and 2 from both numerator and denominator , we get

$\dfrac{1}{1}\times\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

i.e. $\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{4}{9}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Hence, the correct option is "D. Dividing".
