Question

Division number into a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide a fraction by a number, rewrite the number as a fraction by writing the number over one. Then do division of fractions.

Example:

$\dfrac{6}{7} \div 5 =$

Rewrite the number as a fraction.

$= \dfrac{6}{7} \div \dfrac{5}{1}$

Now divide the fractions by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

$= \dfrac{6}{7} \times \dfrac{1}{5}$

Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together.

$= \dfrac{6 \times 1}{7 \times 5}$

$= \dfrac{6}{35}$
