Dividing Fractions Worksheets
Welcome to our dividing fractions worksheets!
Understanding how to divide fractions can be challenging at first. However, the process is quite simple and makes more sense with practice. Dividing fractions involves flipping a fraction and multiplying. The dividing fractions worksheets below include printable instructions as well as practice.
Students will get practice dividing one fraction by another, one fraction by a whole number, and a whole number by a fraction. They will also practice dividing a mixed number by a fraction. We strongly encourage students to read through the instructional sheets before attempting any of the practice problems.
