I think it is to help with dividing fractions? If you could explain it I should be very grateful Flowers

To divide one fraction by another you turn the second upside down ( flip) and then multiply them (X).

So 1/2 divided by 1/3 is 1/2 X 3/1 which is 3/2 or 1 1/2

Dividing a fraction is the same and multiplying the inverse.
So 1/2 ( divided by) 3/4 is the same as saying
1/2 x 4/3

The kiss means turn the divide into a x (because it looks like a kiss) and the flip is turning the second fraction upside down.

Then you’d deal with a multiply as normal (times top, times bottom)

1/2 (divided by) 3/4 = 1/2 x 4/3 = (1x4) / (2x3)

Can anyone tell me what the "Kiss and Flip" method is?
