Answer:

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
