Example of division of fractions:

Example:

(4/5)/(2/9) =

Solution:

Step 1:            Invert the divisor fraction (2/9) to (9/2).

Step 2:            Multiply the dividend fraction, (4/5) , through the inverted fraction (9/2)

(4/5) . (9/2) = 36/10

Step  3: Reduce fraction to lowest terms.

(36/2)/(10/2) = 18/5 = 3(3/5)

Division  of  mixed  numbers  might  be  accomplished  through  changing  the  mixed  number  within  an improper fraction (a/b), inverting the divisor, and proceeding as in multiplication.

Invert the divisor fraction and then go after the rule for multiplication.
