Question

Hello I need help with my math homework if someone can give me an example or explaining then please help

Answer 1

Flip the second number

Explanation:

To divide by a fraction, you simply flip it over and multiply

Take # 7 as an example:

5 /
`(1)/(6)` becomes 5 X
`(6)/(1)`

Of course to make a whole number you put a 1 under it:

5 becomes
`(5)/(1)`

Then you multiply straight across (top X top and bottom X Bottom)

Lastly, simplify as needed:

2 /
`(1)/(3)`

Make the two a fraction and flip the fraction you are dividing with:

`(2)/(1) X (3)/(1) = (6)/(1)`

which reduces to 6

To remember the steps use Keep it, Change it, Flip it.

Keep the first number, change from division to multiply, and flip the fraction you were going to divide by.
