How to divide and multiply proper fractions? (Let's plunge in #1)

-
In order to divide a proper fraction by a proper fraction, we need to have knowledge on numerator, denominator and know how to multiply fractions 
To understand the concept more clearly, we need an example for such a question and we may take an example, say -
Without further ado, let's begin!

Step 1 - Keep the first fraction ( leave it unchanged )


Step 2 - Flip the second fraction ( If the fraction was {1/2} it would now be {2/1}
which is 2.) 


Step 3 - Change the ÷ (division) sign to the multiplication sign.


So in the question it would look something like this : 

Q- 2/3 ÷ 3/7
= 2/3 × 7/3

 ( Now you just multiply the numerator with the other numerator and the denominator with the other denominator ) 
Foe ease of remembrance take a look at a famous fast food chain - KFC!
Let's cut to the chase and ponder over why KFC and not Subway or Pizza Hut, It is so because KFC  (in our lesson) stands for something really helpful in math. 
 
(keep the first fraction, flip the second fraction and change the division sign to a multiplication sign)

Woah! This should be easy enough!
Bye, and stay tuned for the next blog! :-)

  Hi all, hope you are doing well. Mathematics is an interesting area, It's fun to dive into it. Let's start today's topic. POLYGONS. What is a shape? SHAPE is the outline of something. Then what are 2D shapes? 2D shapes are shapes with two dimensions such as width and height. Do you heard about Polygons?                                                                                    Polygons are 2 dimensional closed shapes.  They are joining with 3 or more line segment each other. Then what is regular polygon and irregular polygon?                                           polygon with all the sides are equal and all interior angles are equal is regular polygon. examples are    square , equilateral triangle. Polygon with different interior angles is called irregular polygon. examples are  rectangle , trapezoid An n-gon is a polygon with n sides. for example, a triangle ia a 3-gon. A simple polygon is one which does not intersect each other. now, let's study the nam

 How are you? Hope you doing well.. Today we learn about  3D shapes.             Have you gone through the previous blog about 2D shapes ? If do go through it, It's very interesting and helps you to better understand 2D shapes by clicking here Triangle to Icosagon (2D shapes). Here we are going to see about 3D shapes. Here 3D stands for three-dimensional. 3D shapes have three different measurements such as length, width and height as its dimensions. 3D shapes have depth, thickness, and volume but 2D shapes have not. The faces of the 3D shapes are 2d shapes. Depending  on the type of surface, 3D shapes are categorized into two 1. Curved shaped solid  2. Straight sided polygon or polyhedrons Curved shaped solids 3D shapes that have curved surfaces are called curved solids examples are 1. Sphere 2. Cone 3. cylinder Straight sided polygon or polyhedrons 3D shapes with straight sides are called straight-sided polygons. They are also known as Polyhedrons or polyhedra. Polyhedrons should
