In this lesson, you will learn how to divide fractions and interpret the results. We will use pictures to visualize what division of fractions really represents, then we will work out the solution and check the result. In order to divide fractions, we must change the division into multiplication, then multiply by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction. In this way, all fraction division becomes multiplication, which we have already previously mastered and practiced.

You are one heck of a great teacher. I love your style....I think what most teachers miss is they only explain the concept once, then do a bunch of examples without reinforcing the explanation -- which I think is key. This is easily the best explanation of this concept on youtube and beyond. I'm relearning maths as an adult for fun, something I always struggled with, and I can tell your videos are going to be a massive help. Thank you!!!

Sir, you are greatly appreciated. I graduated from a baccalaureate registered nurse course and enjoyed math so much. I took a remedial algebra class that allowed me to come to par with much younger students who had higher ACT scores. In fact, they struggled while I made easy “ A”. Your style of teaching is very easy to follow. Your metaphors and visual aides are great.

Thank you!

The best maths teacher ever .

[@JV3Player]

This is best professor I have ever had

[@sinesiopaulo118]

This vídeo comes to me and it clarify my doubts about fraccion's division. Very good 👏👏👏 Thank you. From 🇧🇷 oct 8, 2023

Thank s a million my colleague, I enjoyed your presentation

[@terryjameson8856]

You are the BEST teacher I have ever seen. I knew how to work this problem but now I understand WHY. It gives me a whole new understanding. Thank you so much.

[@MathAndScience]

You are very welcome!

[@irenejohnston6802]

Thanks v much. The point at school. Shown 1 eg then copy method. Not explained why. We followed the mechanics without knowing why. You have refreshed my memory and expanded my understanding about the 'why' on numerous subjects age 81 uk

[@lazyduck6922]

thank you so much for this. you explained it really well. i always find knowing exactly why something is done in math helps me solve problems better. teachers like you are fantastic

[@MathAndScience]

Thanks!

[@johnhopkins5987]

I totally enjoyed your presentation. Gave an actual foundation to the unanswered question Why. Thanks

[@242math]

excellent tutorial on fractions and simplifying, thanks for sharing bro

[@christinepilger135]

Love you videos! As a middle school math teacher, I appreciate the visual support. In the future, I'd recommend that, when simplifying, write out 2/2 (or whatever you are using to simplify). I emphasize to students that this number is equal to 1 which does not affect the value of the fraction. Just a thought.

[@MeenakshiSekar]

wow.. Teaching field lacks seriously teachers like you :) . And thanks a lot of sharing such videos

[@dino3688]

You saved me for doing my homework of not understanding it ty for teaching people good math lessons

[@tedlahm5740]

Clear concise information. Worth waiting for the lesson. Thank you.

[@MathAndScience]

Welcome!

[@iZAPMath]

Your explanation is so easy to follow, thank you, sir! I give links to my students for an additional support! 💪

[@appledinger1121]

I like how you explain why we are doing it. Many teachers tell us how to do it, but rarely they teel us why we do it.

[@MathAndScience]

Thank you very much for the feedback, I greatly appreciate it!

[@arghyabanik9269]

So good.

[@JesusistheKingofkingsandLord]

So how to do know what to divide it in close to the end of the problem to simplify? Thank you

[@hermionebuxo6262]

Thank you for explaining it so well I really had difficulties with it thank you so much for sharing the easy way no I really understand it oh and the good thing is I could teach it to others because I already know it

[@patpalmer1337]

Isn't that the same as cross multiplying and then dividing? It works out the same?

[@emadfarhan9482]

It’s important to calculate inflation

[@tresajessygeorge210]

THANK YOU... SIR...!!!

[@electricalfarmer8876]

Super Sir. Thank You So Much

👌👌 Thank you very much sir

A thin circular ring, of radius 20cm, is charged, with a uniform charge density(rho). If a small section, of 1cm length, is removed from the ring. Calculate the electric field intensity at the center of the ring.

Excellent👏

Thanks

best 💚

[@shahrukh2919]

Big fan from INDIA your explanation is very 🙂😍🤩🤩 nice

[@MathAndScience]

Thanks!

[@hemarajue2736]

I think when we are dividing by a fraction,essentially converting it into a whole part and then multiply. 1/2÷1/4 Cross multiply (1×4)/(2×1)=4/2=2.

[@MathAndScience]

Yes for sure!

[@hazzenfarah3068]

thanks dear teacher

[@MathAndScience]

Welcome!

[@dianakingclarke2248]

Sometimes you're simplifying at the end other times you're dividing, how do I know which route to take?

[@hestiaa9354]

If you have worked the problem all the way through and gotten the answer, you then check to see if the answer can be simplified. Sometimes it can and sometimes it can’t. What do you mean when reference division?

[@jennifertongco7301]

Hi I am a member but I couldn't access your site. I couldn't find a way to contact you can you please help me. Thanks

[@m00ny___]

Idk your teaching is complex❤

[@bettylashley9321]

😏

[@sethfrederick1336]

I never understood math

[@sethfrederick1336]

I'm so sorry 💔 for thinking your boring please forgive me 😭

[@tahuislam]

Alhumdulillah, I'm so glad I found this video. May Allah guide you brother.
