(Week 3, Day 1)
Title: Division of Simple Fractions

Background Information for Learners:

To divide fractions, rewrite the division as a related multiplication in which

you multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

Reciprocals – if the product of two numbers is 1, then they are

reciprocals or multiplicative inverse of each other. To find the reciprocal of a
fraction, interchange the numerator and denominator.

Example 1: (Reciprocals)

2 3 6 5 9 45
x = =1 x = =1
3 2 6 9 5 45

3 3
Example 2: Divide : ÷
7 5

Step 1: ÷ = x Multiply the dividend by the
7 5 7 3
reciprocal of the divisor.
