To divide a unit fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction's denominator by the whole number.
For example, to calculate we multiply the fraction's denominator by
Notice that we get the same answer using a fraction model, and the process is similar.
What is the value of
To divide a unit fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction's denominator by that whole number:
$\dfrac{1}{3}\div 2 = $

$ \dfrac{1}{5}$ |
|
d
|
$ \dfrac{3}{2}$ |
|
e
|
$ \dfrac{1}{32}$ |
$\dfrac{1}{3} \div 20 = $
|
a
|
$\dfrac{20}{3}$ |
|
b
|
$\dfrac{1}{30}$ |
|
c
|
$\dfrac{3}{20}$ |
|

What is the value of
To divide a unit fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction's denominator by that whole number:
$\dfrac{1}{11} \div 3 = $
|
a
|
$\dfrac{1}{14}$ |
|
b
|
$\dfrac{3}{11}$ |
|
c
|
$\dfrac{1}{33}$ |

Joshua uses of ham to make pizzas. If the ham is distributed equally among the pizzas, how much ham does he put on each pizza?
To determine the amount of ham on each pizza, we must divide the amount of ham by the number of pizzas:
To divide a unit fraction by a whole number, we multiply the fraction's denominator by that whole number:
Therefore, Joshua puts of ham on each pizza.
