Class 7 Maths Exercise 2.3 Extra Questions
Write down the reciprocal of: (i) 3/7 (ii) 1/5 (iii) 6 (iv) 3(5/8)
We have:
(i) Reciprocal of 3/7 = 7/3
(ii) Reciprocal of 1/5 = 5/1 = 5
(iii) Reciprocal of 6 = 1/6
(iv) Reciprocal of 3(5/8) = Reciprocal of 29/8 = 8/29
Find Reciprocal of 3(5/8).
We have:
Reciprocal of 7(8/11) = Reciprocal of 85/11 = 11/85
Divide: (i) 28 by 7/4 (ii) 36 by 6(2/3)
We have:
(i) 28 by 7/4 = (28/1)/ (7/4) = (28 x 4)/ (1 x 7) = 4 x 4 = 16
(ii) 36 by 6(2/3) = (36/1)/ (20/3) = (36 x 3)/ (1 x 20) = 108/20 = 27/5 = 5(2/5)

Class 7 Maths Exercise 2.3 Important Questions
What are the 3 steps to dividing fractions?
The easiest way to divide fractions is to follow three simple steps:
(i) Flip the divisor into a reciprocal.
(ii) Change the division sign into a multiplication sign and multiply.
(iii) Simplify if possible.
How do I divide a fraction by a whole number?
To Divide a Fraction by a Whole Number:
Multiply the bottom number of the fraction by the whole number. Step 2. Simplify the fraction (if needed)
A rope of length 9(3/4) m is cut into 6 pieces of equal length. Find the length of each piece.
Length of the rope = 9(3/4) m = 39/4 m
Number of equal pieces = 6
Length of each piece = (39/4)/6
= (39 x 1)/ (4 x 6)
= 39/24 = 13/8 = 1(5/8) m
Hence, the length of each piece is 1(5/8) m
Reciprocal of a Fraction
Two fractions are said to be the reciprocal of each other, if their product is 1.
For example, 4/9 and 9/4 are the reciprocals of each other, since (4/9) x (9/4) = 1
In general, if a/b is a fraction, then its reciprocal is b/a.
Note: Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The first step to dividing fractions is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
Division of Fractions
Rule: To divide a fraction by another fraction, the first fraction is multiplied by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Thus, (a/b)/(c/d) = ad/bc
Example:
Simplify: (i) (4/9)/ (5/6) (ii) (5/7)/10
We have:
(i) (4/9)/ (5/6) = (4 x 6)/ (9 x 5) = 24/45 = 8/15
(i) (5/7)/(10/1)= (5 x 1)/(7 x 10) = 5/70 = 1/14
