Constructing Division Equations
Always determine which number is being divided first. This is the dividend and comes beginning of the
equation.
The divisor, the number that divides into the dividend, comes after the division sign.
Before immediately solving the division equation, rewrite the original equation into a multiplication
equation using reciprocals.
To simplify the equation, always check if cross reduction of fractions is possible before solving.
