👉 Would you like me to also give a shortcut trick for dividing mixed numbers (so Class 5
students don’t always get stuck converting)? Great! Let’s solve these division problems with
fractions and whole numbers step by step, in a way that’s easy for Class 5 students to follow.
👉 Rule Reminder: When dividing fractions, keep the first fraction as it is, flip the second
one, then multiply. This is sometimes remembered as: KCF = Keep, Change, Flip.

👉 Do you want me to also show a quick “trick table” of rules (like dividing by whole number,
dividing by unit fractions, etc.) so Class 5 students can solve faster without always writing long
steps? Perfect, let’s solve this carefully and explain in simple Class 5 language.
👉 The question is asking us to divide a whole number by a fraction. When dividing by a
fraction, we use the rule: Keep the first number, change division to multiplication, flip the
fraction.
Or just think: “How many pieces of that fraction fit into the whole number?”
Example (already solved in table)
2 ÷1 /3
This means: “How many one-thirds are in 2 wholes?” Since each whole has 3 thirds, 2 wholes
have 2 ×3=6.
✅ Quotient = 6
Now solve the table:
a) 3 ÷ 1/7
In words: How many sevenths make 3 wholes? Each whole has 7 sevenths. So:
3 ×7=21
✅ Quotient = 21
b) 9 ÷ 1/10
In words: How many tenths make 9 wholes? Each whole has 10 tenths. So:
9 ×10=90
✅ Quotient = 90
c) 12 ÷1 /11
In words: How many elevenths make 12 wholes? Each whole has 11 elevenths. So:
12 ×11=132
✔️
Quotient = 132 (already given as hint )
d) 14 ÷ 1/12
In words: How many twelfths make 14 wholes? Each whole has 12 twelfths. So:
14 × 12=168
✅ Quotient = 168
✨ Final Completed Table
Sum In words Quotient
2 ÷1 /3 How many thirds make 6
2 wholes?
3 ÷ 1/7 How many sevenths 21
make 3 wholes?
9 ÷ 1/10 How many tenths make 90
9 wholes?
12 ÷1 /11 How many elevenths 132
make 12 wholes?
14 ÷ 1/12 How many twelfths 168
make 14 wholes?
👉 Would you like me to also give students a short trick (just multiply whole number ×
denominator) so they can fill such tables faster?
Sum In words Quotient
2 ÷1 /3 How many thirds make 6
2 wholes?
3 ÷ 1/7 How many sevenths 21
make 3 wholes?
9 ÷ 1/10 How many tenths make 90
9 wholes?
12 ÷1 /11 How many elevenths 132
make 12 wholes?
14 ÷ 1/12 How many twelfths 168
make 14 wholes?
