Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Dividing Fractions Worksheet
To solve the problems on the "Dividing Fractions Sheet 3," we need to use the rule for dividing fractions:

\[
\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}
\]

This means we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. After performing the multiplication, we simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

Let's solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1:


\[
\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{1}{5}
\]
- Reciprocal of \(\frac{1}{5}\) is \(\frac{5}{1}\).
