1. Dividing Fraction and Whole number

2. Dividing fraction is same as multiplying first fraction with reciprocal of the second fraction
Always remember we can only divide fraction with fraction.
To divide fraction with whole number, we have to first convert whole number to fraction and then divide the fraction

3. Step 1 : Write whole number as fraction
Example 1:
Step 1 : Write whole number as fraction
So 4 is to be written as
Now rewrite the question as under
Always remember we can only divide fraction with fraction.
Step 2 : Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal):
Step 3 Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:
(... multiply tops)
(... multiply bottoms)
Step 4 Simplify the fraction

4. Step 1 : Write whole number as fraction
Example 2:
Step 1 : Write whole number as fraction
So 7 is to be written as
Now rewrite the question as under
Always remember we can only divide fraction with fraction.
Step 2 : Turn the second fraction upside down (it becomes a reciprocal):
Step 3 Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:
(... multiply tops)
(... multiply bottoms)
Step 4 Simplify the fraction
