1 4 Ziggy’s teacher gave him this problem to solve. 4 5 ÷ 2 3 Ziggy divides rational numbers in a special way. Read through his steps. First find and rewrite the fractions using common denominators ÷ Divide horizontally, so the problem becomes: 12 ÷10 15÷15 The denominator always becomes 1 so write the numerators as a fraction with the dividend on top of the divisor Simplify if needed or First, is Ziggy’s answer correct? Will his method always work? WHY does it work?
