Division of a Mixed Fraction by a Mixed Fraction:


               Steps1: Change the mixed fraction to its improper fraction

               Steps2. Change the second fraction to its reciprocal.

               Steps3: Multiply the numerator / Multiply the denominator.

               Steps4: Write it as a fraction.


               Steps5: Change to its lowest term or mixed fraction.

               Rule: First convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then multiply the dividend
               by the reciprocal of the divisor.
