You can put this solution on YOUR website! when I divide, do I need to change the signs to multiplication?
------------------
In general you do not change the sign.
EX: 6/3 = 2
-----------------
But if you are dividing by a fraction you should invert
the fraction and multiply
EX; 6/(5/7) = 6*(7/5 = 42/5
