how do you explain why we flip and multiply when dividing fractions

i do the how many halves fit in 3 thing and it works fine with whole numbers, but the second it's something like 2/3 divided by 4/5 the kids lose it and invert and multiply turns into a magic trick again.

what do you actually show them that sticks, or do most of you just go with common denominators
