Section 6: Dividing Fractions

It Is Important That You Watch This Video First

Fraction division is accomplished by first converting the division to multiplication. You may want to use the tool, KCF: Keep It, Change It, Flip It.

To divide fractions, you rewrite the division as multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction which follows the division symbol.

a over v divided by c over d - a over b times d over c

 

  1. Keep the first fraction.

  2. Change the division to multiplication.

  3. Flip the fraction that follows the division symbol. Watch the video to see this in action.
