Dividing Fractions
 		 Rule for Divide Fractions:
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

(Note:  To find the reciprocal of a fraction, simply invert the numerator and the denominator.)

When dividing by a fraction, simply turn it upside down (inverse the fraction) and then multiply.

(Note: if working with mixed numbers, you must first convert them to improper fractions).
