    To divide by a number equal to the reciprocal of the number multiplied by the number.

    E. g:3/4:6/4

    3/4*4/6=1/2

    Step 1. TUrn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal)

    5/2 becomes 2/5

    Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal: (Multiply tops.)

    2/5 1/4 = 1x6 / 2x1 = 6/3 (multiply bottom)

    Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed.)

    6/3 = 2

    Example: dividing by 5/2 is the same as multiplying by 2/5 so instead of dividing by a fraction. It's easier to turn that fraction upside down, then multiply.
