Q:

how do you divide a number by a fraction?

Accepted Solution

A:
When dividing fractions these are the steps you will take: 1. The first number in the expression stays the same (if it is a whole number then you may just place a one in the denominator and keep the numerator the same as the whole number Β  2. Change the division sign into a multiplication sign 3. Take the reciprocal (switch the places of numerator and denominator) of the second number in the expression 4. Multiply across (Numerators multiply with each other. Denominators multiply with each other) Hope this helped! ~Just a girl in love with Shawn Mendes
