Example Questions

Example Question #1 : How To Divide Fractions

$\frac{5}{6}\div \frac{1}{12}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{72}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Turn the second fraction upside down to find its reciprocal, and then multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to divide the two fractions. When multiplying fractions, you can multiply across, finding the products of the numbers being multiplied in the numerator and in the denominator.

$\frac{5}{6}\div \frac{1}{12}=\frac{5}{6}\times\frac{12}{1}=\frac{60}{6}=10$

$\frac{18}{25}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{9}{8}$

Explanation:

$\frac{9}{10}\div\frac{4}{5}=\frac{9}{10}\times\frac{5}{4}$

In this case, you can reduce the fractions being multiplied by cross-canceling before multiplying them together.

$\frac{9}{10}\times\frac{5}{4}=\frac{9}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{8}$
