To divide fractions, follow these steps:
- Write the fractions to divide as a fraction.
- Invert the second fraction by switching the numerator and denominator.
- Multiply the first fraction by the inverted second fraction.
- Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
For example, to divide 4/6 by 3/5:
- Write the fractions: 4/6
- Invert the second fraction: 3/5 becomes 5/3
- Multiply the fractions: (4/6) * (5/3) = 20/18
- Simplify the resulting fraction: 20/18 reduces to 10/9
So the division problem 4/6 divided by 3/5 equals 10/9.
