    Because dividing is basically multiply by the inverse.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Much like negating a number from a number is adding the later one to the flipped sign of the earlier number, dividing a fraction by a fraction means you multiply the later by the inverse of the earlier. To find the inverse of a fraction, you flip it upside down.
