Answer 4

when you are dividing fractions, you " flip " what you are dividing by, then multiply. But make sure you are flipping the right number. And if you can reduce the fractions beforehand, then do so.

Answer 5

example :
1/2 divided by 3/4 =
1/2 * 4/3 = 4/6 which reduces to 2/3.

do not do it this way...
1/2 divided by 3/4 =
2/1 * 3/4 = 6/4 (this is wrong...flip what you are dividing by)
