## anonymous one year ago 4/11 divided by 4/9

1. Phebe

When you divide a fraction i think you flip it an it turns into a multiplication problem

2. Phebe

I'll show you

3. AbdullahM

$$\sf\LARGE \frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}=\frac{a ~\times ~d}{b ~\times~c}$$

4. Phebe

|dw:1436386048999:dw| THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM

5. anonymous

okay so do i flip both of them or just one half?

6. Phebe

my teacher taught us this this thing called skip, flip and then multiply

7. AbdullahM

From what I gave you, you can just plug in $$\sf a= 4 \\ b= 11 \\c = 4 \\d=9$$

8. anonymous

so 11/4 divided by 9/4?

9. Phebe

Yes

10. Phebe

You should also look at this it will help you understand better http://www.purplemath.com/modules/fraction3.htm

11. AbdullahM

actually that would get us a wrong answer...

12. Phebe

No it would because when you have a problem like she has to flip a multiply is what you should do

13. Phebe

and^

14. anonymous

so only one half like in your example @AbdullahM

15. anonymous

i will try both and see what i get..

16. anonymous

okay @AbdullahM i got 44/36

17. AbdullahM

that's wrong .-.

18. anonymous

@AbdullahM oh that was the wrong one i got 99/16

19. AbdullahM

still wrong...

20. anonymous

i did what you showed me....

21. anonymous

the other thing i would have got 1/3

22. AbdullahM

$$\sf\LARGE \frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}=\frac{a ~\times ~d}{b ~\times~c}$$ $$\sf a= 4 \\ b= 11 \\c = 4 \\d=9$$
