You have to use the reciprocal. for example, 4/5 divided by 1/3 you would leave the dividend the same but flip the divisor. you would change it to a multiplication sign. 4/5 times 3/1 then multiply straight across. hope i helped
Let's say that we have 5/8 and 3/4 and we have to divide them . One thing that is very important when dividing fractions is knowing the meaning of reciprocal. When we are dividing fractions we use the reciprocal, for example the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3 .
5/8 divided by 3/4 = 5/8 divided by 4/3
Now that we have the reciprocal of 3/4 , we multiply both fractions . We don't "divide them " . So it's something like this
