Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]Think~about~what~dividing~by~a~fractions~mean.[/tex] [tex]For~example :[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]The~problem~is~asking~you~"How~many~halves~are[/tex] [tex]in~2?~"The~answer~is~4,Because~each~unit~(1)~is~made~up~of~two~halves[/tex][tex],~And~there~are~2~units~total:\frac{2~halves}{1~unit} *2~units=4~halves.[/tex]
[tex]Also,if~you~want~to~divide~fractions,you~should~keep~this~in~mind:[/tex]
[tex]1.Understand~that~dividing~is~the~opposite~of~multiplying.[/tex] [tex]Therefore,~dividing~by~a~fraction~can~be~accomplished~by~multiplying~by~its~reciprocal.[/tex] [tex]For~example: if ~you~want~to~divide~\frac{3}{4}~with~\frac{2}{5}~in~this~case~you'll~have~to[/tex] [tex]take~the~reciprocal~of~the~second~fraction.~And~here~the~reciprocal~of~\frac{2}{5}~is~\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Now~we~can~multiply~these~Two~factions:[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{4} *\frac{5}{2}=\frac{15}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Here's~something~easier~to~remember~while~dividing~fractions:[/tex]
[tex]Dividing~Frctions,~as~easy~as~pie,~[/tex]
[tex]Flip~the~fraction,~then~multiply,[/tex]
[tex]And~don't~forget~to~simplify,[/tex]
[tex]Before~it's~time~to~say~goodbye.[/tex]
