Understanding Division of Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions, starting with cases where the fractions have a common denominator. In such cases, the quotient is found by dividing the numerators. The tutorial then addresses how to handle fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator and then dividing the numerators. Examples are provided to illustrate the process, including simplifying the resulting fractions.

What is the first step when dividing fractions with a common denominator?

• Multiply the denominators

• Add the numerators

• Divide the numerators

• Subtract the denominators

If two fractions do not have the same denominator, what should you do first?

• Add the fractions

• Multiply the fractions

• Find a common denominator

• Divide the numerators directly

In the example of 15/16 divided by 5/6, what is the least common denominator?

• 60

• 48

• 30

• 24

After finding a common denominator, what is the next step in dividing fractions?

• Subtract the fractions

• Add the fractions

• Divide the numerators

• Multiply the fractions

What is the simplified result of dividing 45/48 by 40/48?

• 11/10

• 7/6

• 5/4

• 9/8
