Dividing fractions transforms the problem into multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor. The formula for (a/b) ÷ (c/d) is (a/b) × (d/c). For instance, (3/5) ÷ (2/7) = (3/5) × (7/2) = 21/10 or 2 1/10. Reciprocal simply means flipping the numerator and the denominator of the divisor. This procedure arises in contexts like distributing resources into fractional segments or converting rates (e.g., speed or density calculations). Consistent practice ensures your ability to handle everyday scenarios, from cooking half a recipe to analyzing productivity rates in a group project.
