divide
You simply multiply the whole number by the denominator. A whole number divided by a fraction is the whole number times the inverse of the fraction. For example, 8 divided by 1/4 is 8 times 4 = 32.
Invert the fraction and multiply.
Just multiply the numerator by the whole number, and keep the same denominator. After you do that, chances are that you'll have to simplify the fraction to a mixed number.
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
Any whole number n, can be expressed in the form of a rational fraction, as n/1.

This is called a mixed number.A mixed number is a number showing the sum of a whole number and a fraction
When dividing a whole number by a fraction with a numerator of 1, you can think of the division as a fraction divided by a fraction. To find the quotient, you can multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction (flipping the fraction), which is essentially the same as multiplying by the fraction's denominator. This process is based on the concept that division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal.
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
To find the reciprocal of a whole number, you must first write it as a fraction. You do this by writing x/1, if the number is 4, it would be 4/1. Then you would find the reciprocal of that fraction. So using the same example, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
You add them together and divide by 2.
That depends what you mean. If you mean finding the product of a fraction and a whole number, simply multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number and reduce to its simplest form. For example, 3/4 x 4 = 12/4, which, when reduced to its simplest form, is equal to 3.
Proper fractions can't become whole numbers. Improper fractions can only become whole numbers if the numerator is a multiple of the denominator. To find out, divide the denominator into the numerator. If there is no remainder, it's a whole number.
