dividing by a third is like multiplying be 3
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
to divide two fractions:
switch the numerator and denominator on the SECOND fraction only, then multiply the two fractions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks for the help @chris00 , but @Vocaloid explains it easier
OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 3/13 divided by 3/1
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
well, yeah, except the division sign changes to a multiplication sign after you flip the fraction
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
(3/13)*(3/1) = ?

I find the LCD right?
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
nope, just multiply across
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
multiply the numerators, then multiply the denominators
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
you only need to worry about LCD when you're adding/subtracting
OpenStudy (anonymous):
