How to divide a fraction

Mathematics
2 answers:
Ber [7]3 years ago

You can begin to divide a fraction by multiplying by it's reciprocal. Here are the simple steps with an example of 4/5 divided by 2/6

- Leave the first fraction in the equation alone.: 4/5 is left alone

- Turn the division sign into a multiplication sign. 4/5 x 2/6

- Flip the second fraction over (find its reciprocal). 4/5 x 6/2

- Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the two fractions together: = 24

- Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the two fractions together: =10

- Simplify as much as you can: 24/10 or 12/5 or 2 2/5

Hope this helped :))

Hello There!

To divide fractions, all you have to do is leave the first fraction alone in the equation but multiply by the reciprocal in the second fraction. This means "Flipped Number" so you flip the numerator and denominator in the second fraction and multiply across then simplify if you need to.

Answer:

Natalie saved 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalie saved 16% because 20 divided by 125 is 0.16

When we find percentages our goal is to get something like 0.24 which would mean 24% or 0.14 or 14% in this case it is perfect because we immediately see 0.16 or 16% leaving us with our answer, Natalie got 16% off her new phone.
