We swap the numerator and the


denominator of a fraction.

7 1 2 9
7 or 7 9 2
1

Recall: Whole numbers can


be represented as a fraction
with a denominator of 1.
To find the quotient of two fractions, multiply the first
fraction by the reciprocal of the second. Then, multiply the
numerators and denominators.
