Dividing Fractions & Mixed Numbers

You asked for it, here it is! These are the steps for dividing fractions & mixed numbers.

1. Make all numbers fractions. If you have mixed numbers, change them to improper fractions (denominator * whole number + numerator).
2. Flip the second fraction.
3. Change the operation to multiplication.
4. Multiply numerators by numerators and denominators by denominators.
5. Simplify the fraction.

Good luck!
