Dividing fractions by fractions
a, c, e = numerator
b, d, f = denominator
-- = fraction line
WHAT IS IT ?
Fraction is numerical quantity that is not a whole number.
• the top number (the numerator) says how many parts we have.
• the bottom number (the denominator) says how many parts the whole is divided into
• the top number (the numerator) says how many parts we have.
• the bottom number (the denominator) says how many parts the whole is divided into
CALCULATION:
EXAMPLE:
numeratorA is 1
denominatorA is 4
numeratorB is 1
denominatorB is 2
| 1 | ||
| -- | ||
| 4 | 1 | |
| --- | = | --- |
| 1 | 2 | |
| -- | ||
| 2 |
We divide fractions as follows.
numeratorA is divided by numeratorB in our case
1/1=1
and denominatorA by denominatorB in our case
4/2=2
