Dividing Fractions
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. The common mnemonic is 'Keep, Change, Flip': KEEP the first fraction, CHANGE the division sign to multiplication, and FLIP the second fraction (find its reciprocal).

Pro Tips
No Zero Divisor: You cannot divide by a fraction whose numerator is 0, as its reciprocal would have 0 in the denominator.
Simplify Before or After: You can simplify fractions before multiplying to work with smaller numbers, or simplify the final result.
Reciprocal: The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. The reciprocal of an integer like 5 is 1/5.
