Example Question #6 : How To Divide Fractions
We never actually divide fractions. When given a division problem, you multiply by the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
So, becomes .
This is the same as

Example Question #1412 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Evaluate:
To divide any number by a fraction, we can multiply that number by the reciprocal of the fraction. That means:
So we have:
Example Question #11 : How To Divide Fractions
Simplify:
Multiply each term by 6:
Example Question #1414 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Evaluate:
A mixed number represents the sum of an integer and a fraction. In order to evaluate this problem first we need to change the mixed number ( ) to an improper fraction. Improper fractions are fractions whose numerator is greater than the denominator. So we can write:
Now we should evaluate and we have:
Example Question #1415 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
Simplify:
We can first find a common denominator for the expression in the numerator, which is . This gives us:
