How to do it

Check the sign. Adding and subtracting need a common denominator. Multiplying and dividing do not.

13÷23=13×32=36\dfrac{1}{3} \div \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{3}{2} = \dfrac{3}{6}keep, change, flip
36=12\dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}simplify (÷ 3)

Example problems

  1. 12−15=\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{5} =
  2. 25÷12=\dfrac{2}{5} \div \dfrac{1}{2} =
  3. 37×35=\dfrac{3}{7} \times \dfrac{3}{5} =
  4. 25×23=\dfrac{2}{5} \times \dfrac{2}{3} =
