Division by fractions
First let me tell you about reciprocal
when we write a digit say 5 it actually means 5/1 So the reciprocal of 5 is 1/5
Similarly the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4
when you need to divide by a fraction you multiply by reciprocal of the fraction or the number.

example : 1/5 divided by 6 is 1/5 multiplied by 1/6
3/5 divided by 4/5 is 3/5 multiplied by 5/4
