Division:

The division of fractions could be performed through two methods.  The first method employs the primary concept of multiplying by 1.

Example:

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

Solution:

Step 1:            Multiply by (9/2)/(9/2) , which is the similar as multiplying by 1.

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

Step 2:            Looking at the two division fractions we see in which 2/9 . 9/2 = 1. This leaves us with the subsequent.

(4/5.9/2)/1 = 4/5 . 9/2

Step 3:            Multiply numerators & denominators.

4/5 . 9/2 = 36/10
