What If: Mr. Williams has 4 pizzas and he wants to divide each one in half, how many pieces will he have altogether?...8 pieces What about 4 pizzas cut into 3rds… 4 ÷ 1 / 3 = 12 pieces What about 4 pizzas cut into 4ths… 4 ÷ 1 / 4 = 16 pieces What about 4 pizzas cut into 5ths… 4 ÷ 1 / 5 = 20 pieces What about 4 pizzas cut into 6ths… 4 ÷ 1 / 6 = 24 pieces Dividing Fractions & Mixed Numbers

RULES: The examples from the previous page illustrate the rules for dividing fractions. To divide fractions we have to: (1) Change all mixed numbers to improper fractions (2) Multiply by the reciprocal of the second number OR KEEP IT…CHANGE IT…FLIP IT (3) Reduce/Simplify Improper Fractions Dividing Fractions & Mixed Numbers
