To divide rational numbers, you turn the division problem into a multiplication problem by flipping the second rational number. Then you go ahead and multiply the tops and bottoms together to get your answer. If you can simplify your problem before multiplication, you can go ahead and do so to make your problem easier.

A rational number is one which can be represented using fractions. The opposite of division is multiplication and vice versa. Knowing this information, you can easily go about turning a division of two fractions into the multiplication of two fractions.
Ex.
(1/2) / (3/4) = ?
multiply the denominator of your fraction by the reciprocal of the denominator.
(1/2)*(4/3) / (3/4)*(4/3)
(4/6) / 1 = 4/6
So when dividing rational numbers, you can multiply the denominator by its reciprocal. This would be an example of converting a division problem into a multiplication one

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The original fraction is 13/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be x/y. This means that the numerator is x and the denominator is y.

One-fifth of the sum of the numerator and the denominator of a particular fraction is 8. This means that

1/5 (x+y) = 8

Cross multiplying with 5,

x+y = 5×8 = 40 - - - - - - - -1

If the numerator is subtracted from 22, the original fraction becomes 1/3. This means that

(22-x)/y = 1/3

Cross multiplying with y and 3,

3(22-x) = y×1

66-3x = y - - - - - -2

Substituting y = 66-3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 66 - 3x = 40

x -3x = 40-66

-2x = -26

x = 26/2 = 13

y = 40 - x = 40 - 13

= 27

The original fraction is 13/27
