Answer:

This depends whether you want to make the fraction bigger or smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to the the fraction into something smaller than it already is, you would use division because when you divide something, you get a smaller number.

However, if you want to make the fraction bigger, then you would multiply.

Hope this helps! :)
