Dividing fractions
Reciprocal
concerning each of two or more persons or things; especially given or done in return. something (a term or expression or concept) that has a reciprocal relation to something else. 2. nadj. (mathematics) one of a pair of numbers whose product is 1: the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2; the multiplicative inverse of 7 is 1/7.
Interpret
to give or provide the meaning of; explain; explicate; elucidate: to interpret the hidden meaning of a parable. 2. to construe or understand in a particular way: ... to bring out the meaning of (a dramatic work, music, etc.) by performance or execution.
Mixed number
A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction. Here are a few mixed numbers: 1 1/2 1 1/3 2 1/2 2 2/5 1 4/5 You can convert a mixed number to an improper fraction by finding the number of unit fractions in the whole number and then adding the fractional part of the whole number.
Franction
A number that compares part of an object or a set with the whole, especially the quotient of two whole numbers written in the form a/b. The fraction 1/2 , which means 1 divided by 2, can represent such things as 10 pencils out of a box of 20, or 50 cents out of a dollar.
Equation
An equation says that two things are equal. It will have an equals sign "=" like this: 7 + 2 = 10 − 1. That equation says: what is on the left (7 + 2) is equal to what is on the right (10 − 1) So an equation is like a ...

Quotient
In math, the definition of quotient is the number which is the result of dividing two numbers. The dividend is the number that is being divided, and the divisor is the number that is being used to divide the dividend. For example, in the equation 12/4=3, 12 is the dividend, 4 is the divisor and 3 is the quotient.
Multiplicative inverse
Reciprocal. The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. ... Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1.
Simplify
Simplifying in math generally refers to fractions. To simplify a fraction, find the highest number that divides into both the numerator, or the top number, and the denominator, or the bottom number. Then, divide that number into both parts of the fraction to simplify.
Visual fraction model
Vector. A quantity with magnitude and direction in the plane or in space, defined by an ordered pair or triple of real numbers. Visual fraction model. A tape diagram, number line diagram, or area model. Whole numbers.
