Understanding Keep Change Flip in Fraction Division

What is the first step in the 'long way' method of dividing fractions?

• Change the division sign to multiplication

• Set up the division as a large fraction

• Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal

• Flip the second fraction

Why do we multiply the denominator by its reciprocal in the 'long way' method?

• To make the numerator equal to zero

• To simplify the fraction to a whole number

• To make the denominator equal to one

• To change the division sign to multiplication

In the 'long way' method, what happens after multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal?

• The fraction becomes a whole number

• The fraction remains unchanged

• The fraction simplifies to the numerator

• The fraction becomes zero

What is the first step in the 'keep change flip' method?

• Change the division sign to multiplication

• Flip the first fraction

• Multiply both fractions

• Keep the first fraction the same

How does the 'keep change flip' method compare to the 'long way' method?

• It is faster and gives a different result

• It is faster and gives the same result

• It is slower and gives the same result

• It is slower but more accurate
