∙ 8y agoThis follows from the fact that 1 is the multiplicative identity for the set of real numbers (of which the set of rational numbers are a proper subset).
Because, 1 multiplied by a number or fraction will equal the same thing, that's what also happens with dividing by 1. I hope I helped!
I suppose you mean 1/9 (the fraction one ninth). To get 1/9 of a number is the same as dividing that number by 9.
Because doing so is equivalent to multiplying or dividing by x/x, which can be cancelled down to 1.
a fraction that can be changed by dividing it is called an improper fraction.
By dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number is like dividing by 1.

It's the same as dividing any number by 1. 4/1 = 4, 1 goes into four 4 times. (1/2)/1 = (1/2), 1 goes into (1/2) only .5 times.
if the number you start with is smaller than the number dividing by, it will be a fraction. 1 divided by 8 equals 1/8.

no dividing by zero equals to 0
when ever you divide fractions you must always flip the fraction you are dividing and change the division sign to multiplication, ex. 1/2 divded by 1 = 2/1 multiplied by 1/1 which equals 2
fraction which equals 3937 = 3937/1

Dividing by any fraction is the same as multiplying by that fraction's reciprocal. To find a fraction's reciprocal on a calculator, simply raise the fraction to the power of -1. In this case, dividing by 1/3 is the same as multiplying by (1/3)-1 = 3. For example, 8 / 1/3 = 8 x 3 = 24

By dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number is like dividing by 1.
