When will dividing a whole number by a fraction result in a whole number answer? Explain.

From these examples, we can conclude, we will get a whole number when we divide if the numerator of the fraction is a factor of the whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at a couple of examples

Example 1

4 : 1/3

Copy dot flip

4 * 3/1 = 12

Whole number

Example 2

2 : 11/12

Copy dot flip

2 * 12/11

24/11

11 goes into 24 2 times

11*2 = 22

24-22 = 2

11 goes into 24 2 times with 2 left over, The left over goes over the denominator.

2 2/11

2 2/11 is a mixed number not a whole number

Example 3

8 : 2/11

Copy dot flip

8 * 11/2

88/2

44

From these examples, we can conclude, we will get a whole number when we divide if the numerator of the fraction is a factor of the whole number
