Exercise #1

Solve the following exercise:

14:12=? \frac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{2}=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

When we approach solving such questions, we need to know the rule of dividing fractions,

When we need to divide a fraction by a fraction, we use the method of multiplying by the reciprocal.

This means we flip the numerator and denominator of the second fraction, and then perform fraction multiplication.

Instead of:

1/4 : 1/2 =

We get:

1/4 * 2/1 =

We'll remember that in fraction multiplication we multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator

1*2 / 4*1 =
2/4 =

We'll reduce the fraction and get:

1/2
