Whole Numbers Divided by Fractions

Start with Whole Numbers Divided by Fractions, where every answer is whole, then move to fractions by fractions. Finish with the mixed review.

Divide 16 whole numbers by fractions like 15 ÷ 3/4, where every quotient is a whole number. The directions on the page read: Divide. Each answer is a whole number. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade fraction multiplication & division, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with divide fractions. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

It is a short name for the reciprocal method: keep the first fraction, change ÷ to ×, and flip the second fraction. 2/5 ÷ 3/4 becomes 2/5 × 4/3 = 8/15.

Yes. All 3 sheets have an answer key, and quotients greater than 1 are written as mixed numbers.
