• Write the division indicated by the main fraction bar using a ÷ symbol
  • \(\frac{\frac14}{25} = \frac14 ÷ \frac25\)
• Use the rule for dividing fractions: Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of \(\frac25\), which is \(\frac52\)
  • = \(\frac14 \cdot \frac52\)
• Multiply the numerators.  Multiply the denominators.
  • \(\frac{1 \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 2}\)
