Division of fractions is sometimes said to be multiplication of inverses. Elaborate with an explanation and example.

If you have a/b divided by c/d this is the same as a/b * d/c
If e.g., we have 2/3 divided by 7/9
then we have 2/3 * 9/7 = 6/7
When dividing fractions the rule is toinvert or reciprocate the second fraction and multiply them.

I don't understaand what the hell this is. you need to hace stuff for middle school kids like in sixth-eight. I'm looking for dividing fractions and what the hell is this? You need to make it less complicated!

I apologize if my previous explanation was unclear. I will explain the concept of dividing fractions in a simpler way.

When dividing fractions, you can think of it as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal or inverse of the second fraction. The reciprocal is simply flipping the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

For example, let's divide 2/3 by 7/9:

To do this, we first keep the first fraction as it is: 2/3.

Then, we find the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator: 9/7.

Now, we multiply the two fractions together: (2/3) * (9/7).

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: (2 * 9) / (3 * 7) = 18/21.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case: (18/3) / (21/3) = 6/7.

So, dividing 2/3 by 7/9 equals 6/7.

Remember, when dividing fractions, you can invert or reciprocate the second fraction and then multiply the two fractions together.
