To find: If a whole number divided by a proper fraction is always, sometimes or never greater than the whole number.
Answer to Problem 45HP
Thus, a whole number divided by a proper fraction is sometimes greater than the whole number.
Explanation of Solution
On dividing two numbers, division sign is turned in multiplication sign and the second number is changed into its reciprocal and then the two numbers, thus formed are multiplied together.
Case 1: Let whole number be 0 and proper fraction be
That means in this case, division of a whole number and a fraction is equal to whole number.
Case 2: Let whole number be 1 and proper fraction be
That means in this case, division of a whole number and a fraction is greater than the given whole number.
Conclusion: The division of a whole number and a proper fraction is SOMETIMES (as case 1 is there) greater than the whole number.
