AI Summary
Dividing fractions involves determining how many times one fraction fits into another, which is done using the “Keep, Change, Flip” method: keep the first fraction, change the division sign to multiplication, and flip the second fraction.
What is dividing fractions by fractions?
Dividing fractions by fractions means finding out how many times one fraction fits into another fraction. In simpler words, it is when we divide one fraction by another.
Keep, Change, Flip Method
Keep the first fraction as it is
Change the division sign to multiplication
Flip the second fraction (take its reciprocal)
Example
2/3 divided by 4/5
Keep the first fraction: 2/3
Change the ÷ to x
Flip the second fraction: 5/4
Now, it becomes 10/12. To completely solve, just simplify 10/12 to 5/6.
So, 2/3 divided by 4/5 is equal to 5/6
