Practice makes perfect

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

2÷ 1/2

Write as a fraction

2/1÷1/2

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

2/1* 2/1

Multiply fractions

2* 2/1* 1

Multiply

4/1

a/1=a
