Fraction division is the process of dividing one fraction by another. It involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (flipped version) of the second fraction. This is done by swapping the numerator and denominator of the second fraction and then multiplying the fractions together. The resulting fraction is then simplified, if possible.
To manually solve fraction division between two fractions, follow these steps:
Keep the first fraction as it is.
Flip the second fraction, swapping the numerator and denominator.
Multiply the first fraction by the flipped second fraction.
Simplify the resulting fraction, if possible.
Step 1: Keep the first fraction as it is: 2/3.
Step 2: Flip the second fraction: 1/4 becomes 4/1.
Step 3: Multiply the fractions: 2/3 x 4/1 = 8/3.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction: The fraction 8/3 cannot be simplified further
Note: Remember, if the numerator and denominator of the resulting fraction have a common factor, try to simplify the fraction.
