Math lesson ob why we do the "keep, change, and flip" method when we divide fractions. We first learn about fractions (how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide by fractions) in about 5th grade. Dividing fractions usually confuses students because we don't often see the reason why we use the "keep, change, and flip" method. At the end, we will also see what ChatGPT says about why we use this method.
