for example x belongs to W
a/b is a fraction
x divided by a/b is
= x X b/a
means the whole number should multiply with reciprocal ( Multiplicativeinverse) of such fraction we get the solutiion.

Yes. If you mean dividing a whole number INTO a fraction here is how you do it. Take the whole number and write it as a fraction where the whole number is the numerator (top part of the fraction) and the number "1" is the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction). Now, turn that fraction upsides down so that the "1" is on top and the whole number is on the bottom. Multiply the numerator of the original fraction times the "1" giving you the original numerator as the new numerator. Multiply the whole number times the original denominator giving you the new denominator. If you means dividing the fraction into the whole number it is similar. Write the whole number as a fraction (as above) with 1 in the denominator. Then flip the fraction over and multiply the two numerators, the two denominators and you have your answer.
When dividing by a fraction, the answer is obtained by multiplying by the reciprocal.
Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
You can make any whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.
When dividing by fractions, multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction. In this case, it's the same as multiplying the whole number by the denominator. 5 divided by 1/2 = 5 x 2/1 = 10
