We will discuss here about dividing fractions by a whole number, by a fractional number or by another mixed fractional number.

First let us recall how to find reciprocal of a fraction, we interchange the numerator and the denominator.

For example, the reciprocal of ¾ is 4/3.

I. Division of a fraction by a whole number:

For example:

(i) Divide 3/5 by 12

Solution:

3/5 ÷ 12

= 3/5 ÷ 12/1

= 3/5 × 1/12

= (3 × 1)/(5 × 12)

= 3/60

= 1/20

Step I: Find the reciprocal of the whole number and multiply with the fractional number as usual.

Step II: Express the product in its lowest terms.

(ii) Solve: 5/7 ÷ 10

= 5/7 ÷ 10/1

= 5/7 × 1/10

= (5 × 1)/(7 × 10)

= 5/70

Step I: Find the reciprocal of the whole number and multiply with the fractional number as usual.

Step II: Express the product in its lowest terms.
