You can divide a whole number by fractions without really dividing. Use the flip fraction method. For example:
5 divided by 1/2 can be done just by flipping the fraction to 2/1 which is 2. 2 times 5 is 10, which is your answer. You can also turn the fraction into a decimal and simply divide. I'd use the first method. Hope it helps!
