how to use cancellation in dividing fractions

Sagot :

It would be used by looking first the numerator term nor terms if it is the same with the value of the denominator term rather terms.
It's just easy. Here's an Example:

2/4 ÷ 4/8    The numerator 2 and denominator 8 can be both lowest term or divided by 2, cancel and divided by 2

So it is now 1/4

 Next is the denominator 4 and numerator 4, which can be both divided by 2 again, so cancel

The result is 2/2

After cancelling, 1/4 x 2/2

And the final answer is 2/8 or 1/4

Remember that when cancelling or dividing the numerator and denominator, it must always be in lowest coomon factor. And the final answer must always be in lowest term.

Hoping that I helped~ (^_^)/
