Step-by-step solution for: Divide Fraction Worksheet -1 Worksheets
To solve the given problems, we need to divide fractions. The general rule for dividing fractions is:
\[
\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}
\]
This means we take the reciprocal of the divisor (the second fraction) and then multiply the two fractions.
Let's solve each problem step by step.
