Cody said that dividing a unit fraction by a whole number is the same as multiplying the unit fractions by a unit fraction with a whole number as a denominator

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the statement is true, because to divide a fraction we have to turn the second fraction upside down and multiply them. Since a whole number x can be written as x/1, it also applies to the case of dividing a fraction by a whole number.

We can prove it with an example.

Dividing a unit fraction by a whole number  

1/2 ÷ 2 = (1x1) / (2x2) = 1/4

Multiplying the unit fractions by a unit fraction with a whole number as a denominator

1/2 x 1/2= (1x1) / (2x2) = 1/4
