This Instructable will teach you how to divide fractions. Dividing fractions consists of finding the reciprocal of one number, cross-canceling, and finally multiplying the fractions(no, I am not mistaken).Please vote, too.

Yep, definitely change that because 1/2 divided by 3/4 is NOT equal to 1/2 times 3/4. When you write the reciprocal you must simultaneously write the inverse operation. They are one step.

You might want to, imo, make the Finding the reciprocal and Multiplying step into one. Just cause if I was a teacher and saw this at any step:
(1/2)/(3/4) = (1/2)/(4/3)
I would mark it wrong.
I see why you wrote it that way, but I think every part of the solution should be a true statement.
I don't mean to be nitpicky, it's a great instructable, but actually I do mean to be nitpicky... I just don't mean it to be offensive :P

you mean constructive criticism.

I write it as 1/2 / 3/4 -> 1/2 / 4/3

OK thanks I'll change that
