Dividing Fraction Word Problems (R)

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For example, $$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$$ .

Simplifying a fraction means reducing it to its lowest terms, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place the result over the original denominator.

The reciprocal of a fraction $$\frac{a}{b}$$ is $$\frac{b}{a}$$ .
