Lesson One Hundred and Fifteen: Fraction Division III


The challenge with these problems is making sure you keep track of the steps. Each step is fairly simple.


	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			8/9 ÷ 2/5 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		8/9 * 5/2 =

	REDUCE (if possible):			4/9 * 5/1 =

	MULTIPLY:				20/9

	CONVERT ANSWER TO MIXED:		2 2/9

Here's yet another example:

	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			2/9 ÷ 2/11 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		2/9 * 11/2 =

	REDUCE (if possible):			1/9 * 11/1 =
