Answer:

Hey "Dixie" heres why: That's why you're being told to flip the second fraction. You're recognizing that dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. ... Now to multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.

Hope it helped!
