How can you divide a fraction by a fraction. Your answer should be 2-5 sentences.

1 answer

To divide a fraction by another fraction, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (or inverse) of the second fraction. For example, if you have \( \frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} \), you can rewrite it as \( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} \). Then, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together to get the final result, \( \frac{a \times d}{b \times c} \). This method simplifies the division process and provides an easier way to work with fractions.
