    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
