🔷 Rule for Dividing Fractions:



To divide two fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor:

$$
\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}
$$

If dividing a fraction by a whole number, write the whole number as a fraction over 1:

$$
\frac{a}{b} \div c = \frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{1} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{1}{c}
$$

Then simplify the result.

Left Side Problems (First Column):



#### 1. $ \frac{3}{4} \div 2 $

Convert 2 to $ \frac{2}{1} $:
$$
\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{3}{8}} $

---

#### 2. $ \frac{1}{2} \div 2 $

$$
\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{4}} $

---

#### 3. $ \frac{3}{4} \div 6 $

$$
\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{6}{1} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{24} = \frac{1}{8}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{8}} $

---

#### 4. $ \frac{4}{5} \div 2 $

$$
\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{2}{1} = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{2}{5}} $

---

#### 5. $ \frac{5}{8} \div 4 $

$$
\frac{5}{8} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{32}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{5}{32}} $

---

Right Side Problems (Second Column):



#### 6. $ \frac{1}{4} \div 7 $

$$
\frac{1}{4} \div \frac{7}{1} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{28}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{28}} $

---

#### 7. $ \frac{7}{8} \div 3 $

$$
\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{24}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{7}{24}} $

---

#### 8. $ \frac{3}{9} \div 5 $

First simplify $ \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} $

$$

$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{15}} $

---

#### 9. $ \frac{5}{12} \div 6 $

$$
\frac{5}{12} \div \frac{6}{1} = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{72}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{5}{72}} $

---

#### 10. $ \frac{3}{5} \div 4 $

$$
\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{4}{1} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{20}
$$

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{3}{20}} $
