how do u divide fractions?
i really need help with this.
i need to know all the steps.
plese post the steps.i really need them before 9 oclock tonight. please help. thank u very much...
To divide fractions, you multiply one by the other fraction written upside down, which is called the reciprocal. It's that simple!
i got this from google:
There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions:
Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside-down (this is now a reciprocal).
Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.
Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)
Ooops soooooo sorry I forgot to change my name back lol!
I'd be happy to help you understand how to divide fractions! Here are the steps to divide fractions:
Step 1: Understand the problem
Make sure you know what the problem is asking you to do and identify the fractions you need to divide.
Step 2: Write the problem as a multiplication
Instead of dividing fractions, we can rewrite the problem as a multiplication problem by using the reciprocal (or flip) of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is when we swap the numerator and denominator.
Step 3: Multiply the fractions
Once you have rewritten the problem as a multiplication, you can multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
Step 4: Simplify, if necessary
If the fraction you obtained in step 3 can be simplified, you should simplify it by canceling out any common factors that appear in both the numerator and denominator.
Step 5: Check your answer
Finally, check if your answer makes sense by asking yourself if the division operation you performed is accurate and if the fraction is in its simplest form.
I hope this helps! If you have any specific fractions you need help with, feel free to provide them and I'll guide you through the process.
