Dividing Fractions #%$^&*() Don't choke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dividing fractions? Don't choke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't one of the fractions supposed to be flipped around or something? I can never remember which one...

Here's the easy way to remember the process...

(Note - you are under no obligation to use this simple and easy to remember explanation. You can use any unnecessarily long and convoluted method you wish to help explain it.)

So what is 6/31  divided by 2/3?

Here's dad and son. Dad is 6 feet tall and aged 31. Dad is first in age so he's the first fraction.

Son is 2 feet tall and aged 3 months. Son is second.

Son starts to choke...

Dad, being dad, starts to swear. (He never swore much before the had children.) Swearing is bad (apparently), so we cross this out. Son gets turned upside down and becomes 3/2. Choking stopped!


So now we have 6/31  X   3/2

Solve as you would a normal fraction multiplication question. Remember....

Leave the first fraction alone. The guy is trying to save his son's life, here, people, so leave him alone to get on with the job. Please disperse. Back away from the man. Go about your business.

Turn the 2nd fraction upside down.

Put an X between your two fractions.

Solve as you would a normal fraction multiplication question.
