So now that we've converted 54 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 1/6 side by side with our new fraction, 54/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.
That's right, all you need to do is convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators. Let's take a look:
1 x 54
6 x 1
=
54
6
In this case, our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.
