Exercise 18 Page 34

Rewrite the whole number 2 as a fraction. Multiply both the numerators and the denominators.

1/5

Practice makes perfect

Before we can find the quotient, we will first rewrite the whole number 2 as a fraction.

2/5÷ 2

Write as a fraction

2/5÷ 2/1

Next, recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 2/5÷ 2/1=2/5* 1/2 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.

2/5* 1/2

Multiply fractions

2* 1/5* 2

Multiply

2/10

a/b=.a /2./.b /2.
