Dividing Fractions Rule

Remember this "gangsta" rule.... Yes I know I should not encourage "gangstaisms"... but it will help you remember how to divide fractions....

"YOU CAN'T DIVIDE FRACTIONS, YOU CAN ONLY 'FLIP 'N' MULTIPLY' THE SECOND [FRACTION]!"
Actions.... shake your head as you say "You can't divide fractions",
Flip - "Twirl" your hands... mambo style,
Multiply - "cross forearms... in an "X"
the second... gesture with 2 fingers...

Get your son or daughter in grade 8 to demonstrate the actions for you....
