A common mnemonic to remember how to divide two fractions is "Keep, Change, Flip." Here's how it works:
1. **Keep** the first fraction as it is.
2. **Change** the division sign to a multiplication sign.
3. **Flip** the second fraction (take the reciprocal).
For example, to divide \( \frac{a}{b} \) by \( \frac{c}{d} \):
1. Keep \( \frac{a}{b} \)
2. Change to multiplication: \( \times \)
3. Flip \( \frac{c}{d} \) to get \( \frac{d}{c} \)
So, you would calculate \( \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} \).
