Example Questions

Example Question #41 : How To Divide Fractions

$\small \frac{8}{9}\div2$

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{1}{8}$

$\small \frac{3}{7}$

$\small \frac{2}{5}$

$\small \frac{4}{9}$

$\small \frac{1}3{}$

Correct answer:

$\small \frac{4}{9}$

Explanation:

$\small \frac{8}{9}\div2$

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal. In order to find the reciprocal, we simply flip the fraction over. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

$\small \frac{8}{9}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{18}$

$\small \frac{8}{18}$ can be reduced by dividing both sides by $\small 2.$

$\small \frac{8}{18}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{9}$

Example Question #1191 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

Simplify the expression.

$\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{1}{2}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{3}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Explanation:

When dividing fractions you can simply mulitply the reciprocal of one of the fractions to the other. For example:

$\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{1}{2}= \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{2}{1}= \frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$

So we in the above case we took the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2.
