Answer: You can divide a number by a fraction by flipping over the fraction and multiplying them together.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example:
Lets say we wanted to divide 8 by 3/4
8÷[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Change the division symbol into multiplication, and flip over the fraction (a great way to remember doing this is to remember the phrase Copy Dot Flip - Copy the first digit as it is, put a dot for multiplication, and then flip the fraction over)
8 ·[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Now, just multiply and reduce/simplify the fraction if needed
Final answer is [tex]\frac{32}{3}[/tex], no need to simplify or reduce
Hope that helps!!
