Step-by-step solution for: Divide fraction by whole number game, worksheet, quiz, flash card
The image you uploaded appears to be a worksheet focused on the division of fractions. Below, I will solve each problem step by step and explain the process.
To divide two fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping its numerator and denominator.
For example:
$$
\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}
$$

General Rule for Dividing Fractions:
To divide two fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping its numerator and denominator.
For example:
$$
\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}
$$
