we get started go ahead and write your name at the very top hey Aunt what time you talking about 12 - 4 dividing two fractions okay our objective is I will be able to explain the process of dividing two fractions and today we need to be able to solve 5 6 divided by 2/11 okay before we get started there's one whole group of our first steps we might have to kind of do Step 1 can win three together and it seems like a lot but really they're very simple steps don't get overwhelmed by them Step 1 is copy the first fraction Downs all we what to do in a even labeled it over here is we need to cop him and go under Line in the Sand green since I'm going to be copying this 5 6 all I'm going to do is I'm going to take this 5 6 Batman a copy it  and I'm look like paste okay so now I have 565 Boone Step One is done go ahead check if I'm done with that one step too though is what I like to call floppy it going to write the reciprocal of the second fraction as you see if this star here and what that means is that there's a little no at the bottom and that's just her mind you guys the reciprocals are also called multiplicative inverses for example the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 to basically the reciprocal is like flipping those fractions so if they have to that to my second sniff I have to 11 to be like its flipped over and now I have 11 / 2  hey and I did not I mean go ahead and check it Adeline I redid my floppy  and last for this one is stuck 3 x 2 there's a sign to a multiplication sign so I just have the division now I'm going to go ahead and multiply  how shall I already pot is it for Step 1 through 3 and help you guys remember this the reason why I do it in this order it's because I call this copy floppy multiply okay so I want two guys go ahead and repeat that copy floppy multiply and that is just to wear my you guys basically the stops okay if you copy the first one you flop the second one and then you multiply in her in the always doing that order okay I say copy first I'm going to take my first fraction going to copy it then I flap and I'm going to Flat that second fraction and then I multiply a case you're doing in that same order it's copy the first one the second one then multiply  cat going on to step for going to multiply your numerous together and then your job is to gather so base play animals playing straight across and 6 * 2 is 12 and then I have to force at 5 is turn my improper fraction into a mixed number someone has 55 / 12 and I off cannot carry that 55 right so as we all know he can carry him he can't carry it so he drops him any puts him in the Box hey. You know how many times can 12 go into 55 and that would be  Four Winds 48 I'm going to need to borrow if I have five toys I'm going to wait I can't do that I need to borrow and now I have 15 14 - 8 I'm sorry and that would be 7 for mice 4-0 then what I do is for the bottom guy he gets to go from the very bottom to very top in the sky in the side he used to be the drummer and guess what he gets to be the denominator again and since nothing can go in 7 and nothing can go into 12 this would be my answer is 4 7/12 okay and as well as I did put on here so you can take this home is that there is a video the flashing can be found at my website so concludes our lessons on 12 dash for dividing two fractions
