How does the relationship between multiplication and division help you divide rational numbers?
Kisachek [45]
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
