Question

which of these statements applies to dividing a whole number by a fraction? select all that apply. dividing a whole number by a fraction is the same as adding. when using fraction bars, circle groups of the divisor. the quotient will always be a fraction. the divisor tells the amount in each group, and the dividend tells the total amount. the result of dividing a whole number by a fraction will always be a fraction.

Explanation:

Dividing a whole - number by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal, not adding. When using fraction - bars, we circle groups of the divisor to visualize the division. The quotient is not always a fraction (e.g., 4÷(1/2)=8). The divisor represents the amount in each group and the dividend the total amount. The result is not always a fraction.

Answer:

• "When using fraction bars, circle groups of the divisor."
• "The divisor tells the amount in each group, and the dividend tells the total amount."
