Division of Fractions

This is done when the denominator divides the numerator. Often times, this also results in multiplication

To get the number of package the student needs, let's write an equation

[tex]2/3 = 1/8x[/tex]

where x = number of packages needed

[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{8}x\\ 2 * 8 = 3 * x\\ 16 =3x\\x = 16/3\\[/tex]
