divide the denominator by the numerator
To divide a fraction by a fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.
To divide one fraction by another fraction,flip the second one over and multiply them.
no no no that is not what they were asking you would divide a whole number by a fraction by putting the whole number over one making it an improper fraction then divide those as you would regular fractions ........ hope it helped :)
When dividing one fraction by another, invert the second fraction and multiply them.
When you divide one number by another which is not a factor.
To divide a fraction by a fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.
To divide one fraction by another fraction,flip the second one over and multiply them.

How a fraction changes when you divide it depends on what you divide it by.
When dividing one fraction by another, invert the second fraction and multiply them.
When you divide one number by another which is not a factor.
Because if you divide out the fraction you get a number bigger than one. (Definition of an improper fraction).
The quotient is less than the fraction.
One simple way is to flip the second fraction over (use its reciprocal) and multiply them.
you divide the numarator to the denomanator
If you divide the fraction by a number greater than 1 then you will have a smaller fraction.If you divide the fraction by a number equal to 1 then you will have the same fraction.If you divide the fraction by a positive number smaller than 1 then you will have a greater fraction.
You don't need like denominators in order to divide. To divide the first fraction by the second fraction: -- Draw a new fraction line off to the side, for the answer. -- Invert the second fraction. -- Multiply their numerators; write the product on top of the new fraction. -- Multiply their denominators; write the product on the bottom of the new fraction. -- The "new fraction" is equal to the first one divided by the original (unflipped)second one.
