  • Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (where the numerator and denominator change places). 

    Example

    \( \frac{6}{5} \div \frac{2}{3}= \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{18}{10}= \frac{9}{5}= 1\frac{4}{5} \)

    Mixed fractions must be converted to improper fractions before dividing. The steps for dividing fractions is covered in detail in the following video.
