1 Division of Fractions

2 The Reciprocal The reciprocal of a fraction is when you swap the numerator and denominator. Example The reciprocal of 3 4 is 4 3

3 Examples Find the reciprocal of

4 Examples Find the reciprocal of

5 Examples Find the reciprocal of 5 Remember 5=

6 Division of Fractions To perform division of fractions, the operation must be changed to multiplication and the second fraction turned into its reciprocal. Example 3 5 ÷ 2 3 = 3 5 × 3 2 = 9 10

7 Example Evaluate 4 7 ÷3 4 7 ÷3= 4 7 × 1 3 = 4 21
