.yhv We DO II.

Why. in dividing by a fraction. do we
invert Tie fraction and multiply by II?
We have 10 divide number hy a GER
tain number OF parts OF a whole number
that Is. by fraction. The drdleai may
be q fraction or a whole number. In the
latter case it may be considered as frae-
tion having I as its denominator. To d.
vide this dividend. We multiply its de-
nominator by the number Of tho parts OF
the divisor-fraction. which is taken as the
divisor: that is. by the numerator Of the
dvlsor-fraction. But this quoticnt IS too
small. because the divlsor thds far used
is not composed OF whole numbers. but
OF a certain number OF parts Of a whole
numbcr-that IS. this quotisnt is too small
by the amount Of the denom;aator OF the
divisor-fracticn. Tor that expresses the
number OF the parts. TO multiply a frac-
ton. we multiply ifs lumerator I'm this
case. by the denominator II the divisor-
fraction. Thus the result q the opera
ton IS that we have inverted the divisor-
fraction. and multiplied " il. as IS the
rule.
