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.
What does it mean when a fraction is multiplied by a whole number?
It is a division
Can you convert fractions into a negative whole integer?
Yes, I can: multiply them by their negative reciprocal then the result will always be a negative whole number - the number -1. For example 5/8 → 5/8 × -8/5 = -1 However, if you mean by "convert" changing into an equivalent fraction, then only if they are the equivalent of a negative whole number can it be done. For example -8/2 = -4
Are negative fractions a whole number?
Short answer - yes, fractions with whole numbers are rational. All whole numbers are rational. All fractions are rational. Rational numbers can be added to always make another rational number.

What does a mix number mean?
A mixed number is a whole number that is coupled with a fraction. For example: 7 9/15 (where 7 is the whole number and 9/15 is the fraction) or 5 3/4 (where 5 is the whole number and 3/4 is the fraction)

What doees fraction mean?
a numerical quantity that is not a whole number
What does it mean to divide a fraction by a whole number?
It means how many times you can subtract the whole number from the fraction before you reach zero. Assuming you've not got a mixed fraction, the whole number will only be able to be subtracted a fractional number of times.
Is it possible to have a negative number over a positive in a fraction?
if you mean like, (-10)/5, then yes, it is simply a negative fraction, which works just like negative numbers.
What does the word fraction mean in math?
a numerical quantity that is not a whole number
What does mixed factions in math mean?
a whole number mixed with a fraction
How do you find the probability of a fraction and a whole number?
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.
Can a fraction and a whole number be divided?
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.
