Dividing fractions by whole numbers - Fraction and Decimal ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve each problem step by step using the method shown in the example:

Rule:
To divide a fraction by a whole number:
1. Multiply the bottom number (denominator) of the fraction by the whole number.
2. Simplify the answer if needed.
