Hello! When it comes to dividing fractions, you keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the second fraction over by its reciprocal. Here is a word problem for this problem:
Cordelia has 1/5 of a huge cake to share with 9 of her friends. Including herself, if each person gets an equal amount of cake, what fraction of a whole cake would each person get?
How to solve it:
10 is 10/1 in fraction form. 1 represents the total amount of people. In this case, you would keep 1/5 the same. The problem becomes multiplication. 10/1 becomes 1/10. Now, let's solve. 1/5 * 1/10 is 1/50. There. Each person gets 1/50 of a piece of cake.
