Step-by-step solution for: Dividing Fractions Questions | Teacher-Made (teacher made)
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Dividing by Fractions" with two columns of problems. The task is to solve each division problem involving fractions.
Let me walk through the process of solving these types of problems and then provide the solutions for all 10 problems on both sides of the worksheet.

To divide by a fraction, follow this rule:
> "Keep, Change, Flip"
>
> - Keep the first fraction.
> - Change the division sign to multiplication.
> - Flip (invert) the second fraction.
Then multiply the two fractions and simplify if needed.

#### Left Side:
1. $ \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{2}{3} $
$$
= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{4}
$$
2. $ \frac{1}{8} \div \frac{1}{4} $
$$
= \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}
$$
3. $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{2}{3} $
$$
= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{8} = 1\frac{1}{8}
$$
4. $ \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{1}{6} $
$$
= \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{6}{1} = \frac{24}{5} = 4\frac{4}{5}
$$
5. $ \frac{3}{8} \div \frac{2}{3} $
$$
= \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{16}
$$
6. $ \frac{3}{8} \div \frac{1}{4} $
$$
= \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}
$$
7. $ \frac{3}{2} \div \frac{1}{8} $
$$
= \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{24}{2} = 12
$$
8. $ 4\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{5}{8} $
First convert mixed number:
$$
4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}
$$
Now divide:
$$
\frac{9}{2} \div \frac{5}{8} = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{8}{5} = \frac{72}{10} = \frac{36}{5} = 7\frac{1}{5}
$$
9. $ \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{2}{5} $
$$
= \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}
$$
10. $ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} $
$$
= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}
$$
