What you do is you turn the whole number into a fraction. Say 3 was the whole number you're trying to divide. You would turn it into 3/1. Then you would divide the fraction.
How you divide a fraction is you multiply it with its reciprical. Say the equation was 3/4 divided by 6/9. you would then switch 6/9 to it's reciprical which is 9/6. Then you would multiply 3/4 and 9/6. 3x9=27. 4x6=24 so it would be 27/24 but that is not a whole number. 24 goes into 27 once and there is 3 left over. So now we have 1 3/24. But we need to simplify 3/24. they are both divisible by three so now we do 3 divided by 3 which is 1 over 24 divided by 3 which is 8 so we not have 1 1/8
3/4 divided by 6/9= 1 1/8

∙ 12y agoIf you invert a fraction, division is converted to multiplication, so dividing by a fifth, for example, is equivalent to multiplying by 5. Dividing by 7/8 is equal to multiplying by 8/7 which is one and a seventh, or 1.143 approximately. It is often convenient to convert fractions to decimal form, for ease of multiplication.
