Let's solve the problem step by step using visual reasoning and mathematical understanding of dividing unit fractions by whole numbers.

---

🔍 Understanding the Concept:


We are dividing a unit fraction (like $ \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4} $, etc.) by a whole number.

For example:
$$
\frac{1}{3} \div 4 = ?
$$

This means: *If you have one-third of a whole, and you divide that third into 4 equal parts, how big is each part?*

Visually, this can be shown by:

1. Starting with a whole.
2. Dividing it into 3 equal parts (to get $ \frac{1}{3} $).
3. Then taking just one of those thirds and splitting it into 4 equal pieces.
4. Each small piece is $ \frac{1}{12} $ of the original whole.

So:
$$
\frac{1}{3} \div 4 = \frac{1}{12}
$$

In general:
$$
\frac{1}{a} \div b = \frac{1}{a \times b}
$$

Solutions with Explanation



#### 1) $ \frac{1}{3} \div 3 = ? $
- Divide $ \frac{1}{3} $ into 3 parts → each part is $ \frac{1}{9} $
- So: $ \frac{1}{3} \div 3 = \frac{1}{9} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{9}} $

---

#### 2) $ \frac{1}{8} \div 8 = ? $
- Take $ \frac{1}{8} $ and split it into 8 equal parts.
- Each part is $ \frac{1}{64} $
- So: $ \frac{1}{8} \div 8 = \frac{1}{64} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{64}} $

---

#### 3) $ \frac{1}{7} \div 2 = ? $
- Split $ \frac{1}{7} $ into 2 parts → each is $ \frac{1}{14} $
- So: $ \frac{1}{7} \div 2 = \frac{1}{14} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{14}} $

---

#### 4) $ \frac{1}{3} \div 4 = ? $
- As in the example: $ \frac{1}{3} \div 4 = \frac{1}{12} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{12}} $

---

#### 5) $ \frac{1}{7} \div 4 = ? $
- Split $ \frac{1}{7} $ into 4 → $ \frac{1}{28} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{28}} $

---

#### 6) $ \frac{1}{5} \div 4 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{5} \div 4 = \frac{1}{20} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{20}} $

---

#### 7) $ \frac{1}{3} \div 6 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{3} \div 6 = \frac{1}{18} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{18}} $

---

#### 8) $ \frac{1}{4} \div 9 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{4} \div 9 = \frac{1}{36} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{36}} $

---

#### 9) $ \frac{1}{5} \div 6 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{5} \div 6 = \frac{1}{30} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{30}} $

---

#### 10) $ \frac{1}{2} \div 9 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{2} \div 9 = \frac{1}{18} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{18}} $

---

#### 11) $ \frac{1}{6} \div 6 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{6} \div 6 = \frac{1}{36} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{36}} $

---

#### 12) $ \frac{1}{9} \div 6 = ? $
- $ \frac{1}{9} \div 6 = \frac{1}{54} $

Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{54}} $

General Rule:


$$
\frac{1}{a} \div b = \frac{1}{a \times b}
$$

So to solve any such problem:
- Multiply the denominator by the whole number.
- Keep numerator as 1.
