Modeling Division of Fractions

In this video, Mr. J explains how to model fractions divided by fractions using two examples. The first example demonstrates dividing 3/4 by 1/2, while the second example covers dividing 2/3 by 3/5. Each example is broken down step-by-step, using visual models to illustrate the process. The video concludes with a summary of the key points covered.
