a whole number by a unit fraction is the same as multiplying a whole number by the of the unit fraction.

Answer:

A whole number divided by a unit fraction is the same as multiplying a whole number by the inverse of the unit fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]8 \div \frac{1}{5} = 40[/tex]

[tex]8 * 5 = 40[/tex]

Required

Explain why both expressions are correct

No dropdown to select from. So, I will provide a general solution.

When a number is divided by a fraction.

Take for instance:

[tex]8 \div \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

The above can be expressed as the product of the number and the inverse of the fraction.

The inverse of 1/5 is 5.

So, we have:

[tex]8 \div \frac{1}{5} = 8 * 5[/tex]

The result of the above expression is:

[tex]8 \div \frac{1}{5} = 8 * 5 = 40[/tex]
