KS2 Primary Maths Age 13-17 - Fractions, Decimals and Percentages: Dividing Fractions - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to handle the division and multiplication of fractions, focusing on converting fractions to top-heavy form and using the 'Keep Change Flip' rule. It demonstrates the process of rewriting a division problem into a multiplication problem by flipping the second fraction and then multiplying the numerators and denominators to find the final answer.

Why is it important to work with top-heavy fractions when dividing?

• They make subtraction easier.

• They are required for division.

• They are easier to add.

• They simplify the multiplication process.

What is the first step in the 'Keep, Change, Flip' rule?

• Keep the first fraction as it is.

• Flip the first fraction.

• Change the division sign to multiplication.

• Flip both fractions.

In the 'Keep, Change, Flip' rule, what do you do after changing the division sign?

• Keep the second fraction as it is.

• Flip the second fraction.

• Multiply the fractions.

• Add the fractions.

How do you multiply two fractions?

• Add the numerators and denominators.

• Multiply the numerators and add the denominators.

• Multiply the numerators and the denominators.

• Divide the numerators and multiply the denominators.

What is the final answer when multiplying 2/3 by 1/3?

• 2/3

• 3/9

• 2/9

• 1/3
