dividing whole numbers

whole number

• whole numder
• any number thats not a fraction

fraction

• a part of a whole
• ex 1/2 is 1/2 of 1

Mixed number and improper fraction

• A mixed number is a improper fraction converted
• For example 1 4/5 is a mixed number but improper fraction 9/5 is a improper fraction

math

• 1 divided by 2=1/2
• two 1/2s =1 plain simple
• 1 divided by 6 =1/6!
• a whole nunber divided by another number larger than it it it becomes a fraction
• Also another way to think about it is for example 1 divided by 5 = put the number 1 next to 5 to get 1/5

Extenions

• Although I've only been using the number 1 other numbers could be used and you could also use larger number than the dividable number
• For example 8 divided by 5 = 8/5 and you convert that to an improper fraction

Overall Steps

• Divide
• Put the fractions together to make the fraction (a cheating mode) or just use your knowings of fractions except with the improper fraction
• with an improper fraction you would times the denominator by the whole number than add the numerator and keep the denominator the same
