I understand how to divide fractions by other fractions but want to know why this is a useful mathematical technique. When do you need/want to divide a fraction by another fraction? What’s it useful for? Is it a specialist thing or am I missing an obvious application?

I’m not even sure if this question is serious…
US recipes are an obvious use case: you need 1/4 cup but want to cut the recipe by 2/3.
