Dividing Fraction by Whole Number Worksheet - Solutions
Problem 1 :
Simplify :
2/5 ÷ 6
Solution :
In the above division, change the division as multiplication and take reciprocal of the whole number 6.
2/5 ÷ 6 = 2/5 ⋅ 1/6
Simplify.
2/5 ÷ 6 = (2 ⋅ 1) / (5 ⋅ 6)
2/5 ÷ 6 = (1 ⋅ 1) / (5 ⋅ 3)
2/5 ÷ 6 = 1/15
Problem 2 :
Simplify :
7/5 ÷ 3
Solution :
In the above division, change the division as multiplication and take reciprocal of the whole number 3.
7/5 ÷ 3 = 7/5 ⋅ 1/3
Simplify.
7/5 ÷ 3 = (7 ⋅ 1) / (5 ⋅ 3)
7/5 ÷ 3 = 7/15
Problem 3 :
Simplify :
5/12 ÷ 20
Solution :
In the above division, change the division as multiplication and take reciprocal of the whole number 20.
5/12 ÷ 20 = 5/12 ⋅ 1/20
Simplify.
5/12 ÷ 20 = (5 ⋅ 1) / (12 ⋅ 20)
5/12 ÷ 20 = (1 ⋅ 1) / (12 ⋅ 4)
5/12 ÷ 20 = 1/48
Problem 4 :
Simplify :
2/19 ÷ 6
Solution :
In the above division, change the division as multiplication and take reciprocal of the whole number 6.
2/19 ÷ 6 = 2/19 ⋅ 1/6
Simplify.
2/19 ÷ 6 = (2 ⋅ 1) / (19 ⋅ 6)
2/19 ÷ 6 = (1 ⋅ 1) / (19 ⋅ 3)
2/19 ÷ 6 = 1/57
Problem 5 :
David eats 1/4 of a pizza and divides the remaining in to two equal parts for his two kids. What is the part of the pizza will each kid receive ?
Solution :
Part of the pizza eaten by David is 1/4.
Remaining pizza is 3/4.
Given : Remaining pizza is divided in to equal parts for his two kids.
Then, the part of the pizza received by each kid is
= 3/4 ÷ 2
= 3/4 ⋅ 1/2
= (3 ⋅ 1) / (4 ⋅ 2)
= 3/8
So, each kid will receive 3/8 part of the pizza.
