 How to divide fractions   ♥
**To Divide Fractions:** //Turn the the second fraction upside down, then just multiply.//
 * ==There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions:==
 * Turn the second fraction upside down - this now a reciprocal.
 * Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.
 * Simplify the fraction only if needed.

**Example: Divide 2/9 and 3/12** 
 * **Invert the denominator fraction and multiply (2/9 ÷ 3/12 = 2/9 * 12/3)**
 * **Multiply the numerators (2*12=24)**
 * **Multiply the denominators (9*3=27)**
 * **Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators (24/27)**
 * **Simplify the Fraction (24/27 = 8/9)**
 * **The easy way After inverting, it is often simplest to "cancel" before doing the multiplication. Cancelling is dividing one factor of the numerator and one factor of the denominator by the same number.**
 * **For example: 2/9 ÷ 3/12 = 2/9*12/3 = (2*12)/(9*3) = (2*4)/(3*3) = 8/9**

Why Turn the Fraction Upside Down?
Simply because division is the "inverse" or opposite of multiplying.
