  1. Write the mixed numbers as improper fractions.
  2. Keep the first fractions as it is.
  3. Change from division to multiplication.
  4. Flip the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction (reciprocal)
  5. Multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
  6. Simplify your answer by reducing to lowest terms, if necessary.
