To divide fractions, first change each fraction to an improper fraction

ok that would be 32/4 and 6/13 i think
OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):
6/13 is right, for 8 3/4 remember to add the 3 to the numerator too, so it'll be 35/4
OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):
So you'll have 35/4 divided by 13/6 (sorry forgot to mention that)
OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):
Then change the problem to multiplication by finding the reciprocal of the second fraction (which was your 6/13). Then just multiply both the top numbers, and then both the bottom numbers

kk thanks u so much
OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):
Your welcome :) and then just remember to simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it would be 4 and 2 over something i think
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@kobeni-chan i dont know what the bottom number is or i got the top number wrong but i think its 4 and 2/something? im confused
OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):
Ok so I multiplied them and got 210/52. (35 x 6 = 210, 4 x 13 = 52)
then to simplify, I divided both numbers 210 and 52 by 2
