Models Dividing Fraction by Whole

Which division sentence is shown by the model?

• 2/3 ÷ 1/9= 6

• 1/9 ÷ 2/3 = 1/6

• 6 ÷ 1/9 = 54

• 6 ÷ 2/3 = 9

• bigger than 1

• smaller than 1

Answer explanation

We can visualize this as how many of the 10 squares fit into the 12 squares. We can show this as 12/10 which simplifies to 6/5

• bigger than 1

• smaller than 1

Answer explanation

When comparing the size, you can see that more than one blue shape would fit into the orange shape.
