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

The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions using the keep-change-flip method. It starts with converting whole numbers to top-heavy fractions, then applies the keep-change-flip rule to solve the problem, and concludes with the final calculation to find the answer.

Why is it important to convert whole numbers into improper fractions when dividing?

• To make the numbers smaller

• To avoid using decimals

• To make the numbers larger

• To simplify the calculation process

What is the first step in the rule for dividing fractions?

• Keep the first fraction as it is

• Multiply both fractions

• Change the division sign to addition

• Flip the first fraction

What does the 'flip' step in the fraction division rule involve?

• Reversing the order of the fractions

• Inverting the second fraction

• Changing the division sign to subtraction

• Turning the first fraction upside down

In the example given, what is the result of multiplying 5 by 1?

• 1

• 0

• 10

• 5

What is the final answer to the division problem demonstrated in the video?

• 1/2

• 5/8

• 5/16

• 16/5
