Dividing Fractions

Published on

Dividing fractions is just like dividing any other numbers, but with a few special rules to remember.

When you divide fractions, you turn the second fraction upside down, so the bottom becomes the top and the top becomes the bottom. Then, you multiply the first fraction by the upside-down second fraction.

For example, let's say you have the fraction 1/2 and you want to divide it by 1/4.

Here's how to do it:

1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 1/2 x 4/1 = 2

So, the answer is 2, which means you have 2 equal parts of the pizza.

It's important to remember that when you divide fractions, you're finding how many times one fraction will fit into the other, so the answer will often be a larger number or fraction than either of the original fractions. With a little practice, you'll be dividing fractions like a pro!
