"when you divide a whole number by a fraction with a numerator of 1, explain how you can find the quotient"

In this item, we are asked for the methodology to arriving the answer when the whole number is divided by a fraction with 1 as a numerator. If example we have the whole number as 4 and the fraction with 1 as numerator is 1/2, the division would become, 4/(1/2). We multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the given fraction which then becomes, 4(2/1). The final answer would be 12.
