This activity is about dividing a fraction by a fraction.
To divide a fraction by another fraction, we can use the KFC method.
No, not the yummy chicken and chips method - but nearly as much fun!!
Keep the first fraction
Flip the second fraction
Change the ÷ to a ×
Once we have done this, we multiply the fractions as we normally would by multiplying the numerators, and multiplying the denominators.
Examples
NB Answers in this activity should be given as reduced fractions.
Leave fractions as top-heavy, but write integers as whole numbers (i.e. 5 not 5/1)
