Example Question #1391 : Common Core Math: Grade 5
Solve:
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.
because
can go into
one time with
left over.
