To divide a unit fraction by a whole number, first, we take the reciprocal of the whole number and simultaneously change the division operation to the multiplication. After that, we multiply both the numerators of the given fractions together and write the answer as the numerator of the resulting fraction. Similarly, we multiply both the denominators of the given fractions together and write the answer as the denominator of the resulting fraction.
