Find three-sevenths divided by five-sixths.
So when we have three-sevenths divided by five-sixths, what this is is division. So therefore, what we’re gonna do is apply our division rule for fractions. And what we have to help us remember how to do that with fractions is this pneumonic. And that is KCF. And this is keep it, change it, flip it. But what does that actually mean?
Well, it means that we’re gonna keep the first fraction the same, so three-sevenths. We change our division into a multiplication sign. So then finally, what we did is flip the last fraction. So now we’ve got six-fifths or six over five. So now what we have is a multiplication with our fractions. And we know that if we’re gonna do multiplication with fractions, all we need to do is multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. Well, if we have three multiplied by six, that’s 18. And then we have seven multiplied by five, which is 35. So we can say that three-sevenths divided by five-sixths is eighteen thirty-fifths.
