In class, we learned how to divide fractions. Remember, division is the opposite of multiplication and, with fractions, we can "Leave, Change, Flip" to evaluate an expression. "Leave, Change, Flip" means to multiply by the reciprocal. Upon returning from break, we will be reviewing how to use the orders of operations (P.E.M.D.A.S.) to evaluate expressions with fractions.
Below is an example of how to use the "Leave, Change, Flip" method to divide.
6 ÷ 2 2/3 ÷ 3/4
Leave, Change, Flip Leave, Change, Flip
6 x 1/2 2/3 x 4/3
3 8/9
