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 into steps, showing how to represent the fractions visually and calculate the division. The video concludes with simplified answers for each problem.

What is the main topic covered in the video?

• Subtracting fractions

• Adding fractions

• Multiplying fractions

• Dividing fractions by fractions

In the first example, what is the first step to model 3/4 divided by 1/2?

• Fill in the entire square

• Split the square into halves

• Circle the entire square

• Split the square into fourths

How many whole groups of 1/2 can be pulled out of 3/4?

• One whole group

• Two whole groups

• Four whole groups

• Three whole groups

What is the simplified form of the result from the first example?

• 1 and 2/4

• 1 and 1/4

• 1 and 1/2

• 1 and 3/4

In the second example, what does the first square represent?

• 3/4

• 3/5

• 2/3

• 1/2

How many pieces are needed to make a whole group of 3/5 in the second example?

• 11 pieces

• 5 pieces

• 7 pieces

• 9 pieces

What is the final answer for the second example in simplest form?

• 1 and 1/5

• 1 and 1/6

• 1 and 1/8

• 1 and 1/9

What is the purpose of using squares in the examples?

• To multiply fractions

• To subtract fractions

• To visually model the division of fractions
