Why Do We Flip the Second Fraction & Multiply to Divide Fractions?

When we divide fractions, you just flip the second fraction (fancy word: reciprocal) and multiply. But why do we do this? Why does this work? In this video, you'll see a simple division problem with a fraction done a few different ways to show why this works. In math, there are usually multiple ways to explain things. If you have another way to explain why we do this, or why it works, please leave a comment, I'd love to read it! #midnightmathtutor #dividefractions #multiplyfractions Enjoying our videos?
