or with the variables. 

Study this problem.

4 1
Leo has m long of wood. He will cut it equally into m long each. How many pieces of
5 10
wood with equal length will he cut?

In dividing simple fractions you need to multiply the dividend to the reciprocal of the
3
divisor. The inverted form of the divisor is called the reciprocal. Example , its reciprocal
5
5
is .

To get the answer, we can write the division equation as:


Dividend
4 1
÷ =N
5 10
Divisor

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the divisor.


1 10
The reciprocal of 10 is 1

Step 2. Multiply the dividend to the reciprocal of the divisor.


4 1
So, the equation 5 ÷ 10 =N
4 10
Will become 5 × 1 =N

Step 3. Multiply the numerators.


4 10 40
× =
5 1 ❑

Step 4. Multiply the denominators.


4 10 ❑
× =
5 1 5
4 10 40
So, 5 × 1 = 5

Step 5. Express your answer in lowest term if possible. To simplify the


answer, change the improper to mixed fraction by dividing the numerator by
its denominator.
4 10 40
× = ∨8
5 1 5
