2. Dividing Fractions
Step 1: Rewrite the problem as a multiplication problem.
There is a rhyme to help remember how to complete this process:
Dividing fractions is easy as pie,
Flip the second and multiply.
Step 2: Multiply
Multiply the numerators and denominators
Step 3: Reduce the fraction to lowest terms.
A fraction is in lowest terms when the numerator and denominator do not have a common factor greater than one.

3. Example 1: Divide and Reduce

4. Example 2: Dividing Mixed Numbers
Step 1: Rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions. For example, to change 6 3/5 into an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number (5 x 6 = 30). Then add that product and the numerator ( = 33). The denominator remains the same and 6 3/5 can be written as 33/5.
Step 2-3: Same as example 1
Step 4: Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number. Divide the numerator by the denominator. Write the quotient as the whole number and put the remainder in the numerator position. For example, 9 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
