3-4 Dividing Rational Numbers
A number and its reciprocal have a product of 1.
To find the reciprocal of a fraction, exchange the
numerator and the denominator. Remember that
an integer can be written as a fraction with a
denominator of 1.

3-4 Dividing Rational Numbers
When dividing a decimal by a decimal,
multiply both numbers by a power of 10 so
you can divide by a whole number. To decide
which power of 10 to multiply by, look at the
denominator. The number of decimal places
is the number of zeros to write after 1.
