When you divide with fractions, the rule is KCF:
Keep - Change - Flip
For example, let's say you're doing 4 divided by 1/2
You KEEP the 4
you CHANGE the divided into multiplied
you FLIP the fraction over, so now it's 2/1, which 2/1=2
now you have 4x2, which equals 8
The result could be a whole number or a fraction. But whatever it is, it's smaller than the original whole number.
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.
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, or divide the numerator by the whole number
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.
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 :)

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 to write 6/9 as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction.
divide
it is smaller (1/2)/2=.25
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
