Dividing Fractions

 $\frac{7}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}$  

•  $\frac{7}{4}$  

• 7

•  $\frac{7}{16}$  

•  $\frac{14}{8}$  

Answer explanation

 $\frac{7}{8}$  stays the same and  $\frac{1}{2}$  changes to  $\frac{4}{8}$  when we skip count. 8 divided by 8 is 1 and 7 divided by 4 is just 7 over 4 or  $\frac{7}{4}$

 $\frac{3}{5}\div\frac{1}{4}$  

•  $\frac{12}{5}$  

•  $2\frac{2}{5}$  

•  $\frac{5}{12}$  

•  $\frac{3}{20}$  

Answer explanation

If I skip count with both fractions to find equivalent fractions,  $\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{6}{10}\ \frac{9}{15}\ \frac{12}{20}\ \frac{15}{25}$  and  $\frac{1}{4}\ \frac{2}{8}\ \frac{3}{12}\ \frac{4}{16}\ \frac{5}{20}$   I see  $\frac{12}{20}$  and  $\frac{5}{20}$ . When I divide 12 divided by 5, I get  $\frac{12}{5}$  and  $2\frac{2}{5}$

 $\frac{5}{4}\div\frac{1}{3}$  

•  $\frac{15}{4}$  

•  $3\frac{3}{4}$  

•  $\frac{4}{15}$  

•  $\frac{5}{12}$  

Answer explanation

 $\frac{4}{12}$   $\frac{5}{4}$  skip counts like so:  $\frac{5}{4}\ \frac{10}{8}\ \frac{15}{12}\ \frac{20}{16}\ \frac{25}{20}$  and  $\frac{1}{3}$  skip counts like so:  $\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{2}{6}\ \frac{3}{9}\ \frac{4}{12}\ \frac{5}{15}$  and the two fractions I see with a common denominator are  $\frac{15}{12}\$  and  $\frac{4}{12}$
