Key idea

Keep · Change · Flip. Keep 5/6, change ÷ to ×, flip 2/3 to 3/2: 5/6 × 3/2 = 15/12 = 5/4. Ask yourself what the division means: how many 2/3s fit into 5/6?

Sample problems

Compute ½ ÷ 1/8.
Compute 2/3 ÷ 1/3.
Compute 4/5 ÷ 2/5.
Compute 3/4 ÷ ½. Give your answer as a fraction.

Common mistakes to watch for

Multiplied without flipping (½ × ¼ = 1/8), or flipped the FIRST fraction instead of the second.
Answered 3/4 (multiplied), or 0.75 — treated ‘of’ as division.
Multiplied to get 2/18, or subtracted the fractions.

The answer key explains each one, so you can tell what a wrong answer means.
