To divide a whole number by a fraction, multiply the inverted fraction by the whole number.
Example: 5 divided by 3/4 = 5 * 4/3 = 20 / 3 = 6 2/3
Multiply by its reciprocal.
2/5 divided by 3/4 = 2/5 x 4/3
Invert the fraction and multiply.
4 / 1/2= ? 4 x 2/1 = 8
A whole number is the same as a fraction with itself as the numerator and a denominator of 1.
For example 5 = 5/1
By doing this you now have two fractions which can be divided in the normal way.
For example: 5 ÷ 2/3 = 5/1 ÷ 2/3 = 5/1 × 3/2 = (5×3)/(1×2) = 15/2 = 7½
A whole number is the same as that number written as the numerator over a denominator of 1. eg 4 = 4/1
You now have two fractions which you can divide using the normal method by inverting the divisor, which in this case results in 1 over the whole number.
For example 2/3 ÷ 5 = 2/3 ÷ 5/1 = 2/3 × 1/5 = 2/(3×5) = 2/15
From this you should be able to spot a short cut: to divide a fraction by a whole number multiply the denominator by the whole number, leaving the numerator alone (but don't forget to simplify the result).
For example 2/3 ÷ 5 = 2/(3×5) = 2/15.
For example 2/3 ÷ 6 = 2/(3×6) = 2/18 = 1/9
you have to make the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator.
Turn the whole number into a fraction by putting 1 underneath it. Then divide.

What dies it mean to divide a whole number by a fraction?
To divide a whole number by a fraction, you can rewrite the fraction as a whole number by multiplying the denominator by the whole number. Then, divide the resulting whole number by the numerator of the fraction. This process is equivalent to multiplying the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
How do you divide a mixed fraction by a whole number?
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, or divide the numerator by the whole number
How do you do quotient with fractions?
if you can divide whole numbers, turn the fraction into a whole number by finding its equivalent and replacing the fraction with that equivalent. Then divide the new number which should be whole and you have your answer.
Can you divide a fraction into a whole number?
Yes.
Whole number divided by fraction?
no no no that is not what they were asking you would divide a whole number by a fraction by putting the whole number over one making it an improper fraction then divide those as you would regular fractions ........ hope it helped :)
How do you divide a whole number into a fraction?
Any whole number can be written over 1. To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply that fraction by one over the whole number. 2/3 divided by 4 = 2/3 x 1/4
How do you write a fraction as a product of a whole number and unit of fraction?
how to write 6/9 as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction.
How do you find the quotient of a fraction and a whole number?
divide
When you divide a fraction by a whole number is the answer larger or smaller than the fraction?
smaller
How do you divide a faction by a whole number?
If it is a rational fraction, you simply multiply its denominator by the whole number.
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than one will the quotient be greater than or less than the whole number?
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
How do you change a fraction to a whole number?
you divide the numerator by the denominator
