Dividing Fractions Worksheets
Fraction divided by fraction, the keep-change-flip page. Both fractions are proper, so many quotients come out greater than 1 and the key writes them as mixed numbers (3/4 ÷ 1/2 = 1 1/2). That is on purpose: seeing a division produce a bigger number is what makes the reciprocal rule click. Denominators to 6, 10 or 12 by setting.
Halves to tenths.

FAQ
Why are so many answers greater than 1?
Dividing by a fraction smaller than the dividend gives a quotient over 1, and that surprises students who think division always makes numbers smaller. The page leans into it so the idea gets discussed.
How are the answers written on the key?
In lowest terms, and as a mixed number when the result is more than 1 (7/4 shows as 1 3/4). If a student writes an unsimplified but correct fraction, that is a teaching moment rather than a wrong answer; the key shows the form most rubrics expect.
Can students work these on a tablet?
Yes. Practice online puts a pen tool over the same sheet, so the fraction can be written with a stylus or finger and wiped for another try.
How do I print this dividing fractions worksheet?
Click Download PDF and print at 100% scale. The page is already sized for US Letter with printer-safe margins, so no fit-to-page fiddling is needed.
Does the key show the flipped multiplication?
No, only the final quotient in lowest terms. Have students write the keep-change-flip line themselves; the work space under each problem is sized for it.
What does the Denominators control change?
The largest denominator the generator may use: 6, 10 or 12. Smaller denominators keep the numbers friendly for a first pass; 12 brings in sevenths, ninths and elevenths, which force the general method instead of pattern-spotting.
Can I get different versions for each student?
Turn on the 5 versions switch before downloading. You get five different sheets in one PDF, each with its own answer key, so neighbouring desks cannot copy.
