4. There is always a need to write answers in the simplest form.
5. There is no need to change the division sign into a multiplication sign if you are going to divide a fraction by another fraction.
EXPLANATION:
1.) To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just turn it upside down. In other words, swap over the Numerator and Denominator.
2.) Yes, the denominator of any whole number is one.
3.) the statement is not clear:)
4.) If you are referring to the simplified form of fractions, usually yes, at least for exams. We need to simplify fractions to clarify communication and to avoid misunderstandings.
5.) False because in dividing fractions, the first step is to find the reciprocal of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
