Question

What is the difference between dividing a whole number by a unit fraction (ex 3 ➗1/2) and dividing a unit fraction by a whole number (Ex: 1/2➗3)?

Answer 1

Dividing a whole number by a unit fraction, would be when you find the reciprocal of 1/2(flipping the fraction, making it 2/1, or 2). Dividing a unit fraction by a whole number, would be when you flip the whole number(in this case, 1/3).
