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.
How do you wtite an improper fraction into a mixed number into simplest form?
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part. Any fraction can be put into simplest form by finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
How do you make an improper in to a mixed fraction?
The improper fraction usually has a numerator that is greater than the denominator. Divide the numerator by the denominator. In most cases you will get a quotient and a remainder. Now write the quotient and suffix it with the fraction represented by the remainder obtained above as the numerator and the original denominator as the new denominator as well.
How do you tell if a fraction can be reduced?
If the numerator and denominator have any common factors (other than 1), then both the numerator and denominator can be divided by the common factor, and the new fraction will be equivalent to the original fraction in reduced form.
Which fraction has the same value and look different?
The fraction that you get when you multiply the numerator and denominator of the original fraction both by the same number.
How do you multiply a whole number by an improper fraction?
The same way as multiplying a whole number by an ordinary fraction: Multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number and put it over the original denominator (bottom number). This can then be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their highest common factor; or it can be converted into a decimal (which could be a whole number) by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
How is dividing mixed numbers the same as dividing fractions?
A mixed number can be converted into an improper fraction. Mixed numbers as improper fractions can be divided just like any other fraction. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the original numerator to give the new numerator and put this over the original denominator.
How do you write a mixed number to a fraction?
You multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator of the original fraction to get the numerator of your new fraction. The denominator stays the same as the original. Then you simplify into lowest terms.

What are the rules in dividing fraction?
Turn the fraction by which you are dividing upside down, that is make the top number (numerator) the bottom number (denominator) and the original denominator the new numerator); and thenmultiply the fractions.Example:3/7 ÷ 9/14⇒ 3/7 x 14/9 = 42/63= 2/3
When you exchange the numerator and denominator of a fraction the new number is called what?
the reciprocal of the original fraction

How do you find an equivalent fraction by dividing?
For example you have 5/25. You pick a number for example 10. you multiply the denominator by 10 and that's the new denominator and you would multiply the numerator by 10 also and that would be your new numerator. So in this case it would be 50/250. Now you don't have to multiply them by 10 but you do have multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number that you pick.
Which fraction has the same value and look different?
The fraction that you get when you multiply the numerator and denominator of the original fraction both by the same number.
When you exchange the numerator and denominator of a fraction what is the new number is called?
It is the reciprocal of the original number.
