How to divide a whole number by a fraction...

example : 6 / (1/4)....when dividing with fractions, " flip " what u r dividing by, then multiply

6 * 4/1....if u have to, 6 is the same as 6/1
6/1 * 4/1 = 24/1 = 24

another example :

2/1 * 3/1 =
6/1 = 6 

just remember to flip what u r dividing by and not the other number.
