To divide fractions:

1. Turn the fraction on the right upside down (reciprocal)
2. Change the division sign (÷) to a times sign (x).
3. Multiply the top numbers (the numerators)
4. Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators)
5. Reduce the result of the multiplication

The following are examples of dividing fractions.   The first example requires no reduction:

The next example requires reducing fractions:

The next example requires converting the answer to a mixed number:

The last example requires you know a trick.   Whole numbers can be written as fractions and these fractions can be turned upside down.  If you have 7, this is equal to 7/1.    If you have 2, this is 2/1.    Using this fact you can solve the following type of fraction division:
