Dividing Fractions

In the previous post we have discussed about How to Solve Multi Step Equation and In today's session we are going to discuss about Dividing Fractions. Hi friends, we will study many types of number in mathematics. Here we will discuss about the fraction. The number written in form of numerator by denominator or (in x / y form) is known as fraction. For example: 5/15, 8/10, 79/200 and so on all are fraction numbers. The upper part present in a fraction is said to be numerator and the lower part present in a fraction is said to be denominator. Now we will see how to dividing fraction numbers. To Dividing Fractions we need to follow some steps.
Step 1: First we have to take two fraction values. Suppose we have 7 / 10 and 11 / 17, then divide the fraction. First of all write both fraction values in the division form. So we can write it as:
= (7 / 10) / (11 / 17).
Step 2: To divide the fraction number first write the multiplication form. So if we write the fraction values in multiplication then numerator value become denominator and denominator value become numerator. The above fraction values we can write as:
= (7 / 10) / (11 / 17),
= (7 / 10) * (17 / 11).
Step 3: Then cancel the term which can be easily cancel out. Other wise multiply the numerator value to the numerator and the denominator value to the denominator. The above values are not in the position to cancel out so multiply. So we can write it as:
= 7 * 17 / 10 * 11. on multiplying we get:
= 119 * 110. This is the required solution.
For example: Divide (5 / 9) / 15 / 20. (know more about Dividing Fractions, here)
solution: Here we need to follow the above steps to divide the number.
= (5 / 9) / (15 / 20). write the number in multiplication form. So it can be written as:
= 5 / 9 * 20 / 15. if we solve this fraction value we get 20 / 27 as an answer.
The first Law of Thermodynamics can be defined as the fundamental thermodynamics relation for a close system. To prepare for the ICSE exam please prefer the icse question papers.
