Exploring the Connection Between Fractions and Division

The video tutorial explains how fractions can be used to represent division. It begins by introducing the concept of fractions as a way to show division, using the example of dividing three strips of paper among four people. The tutorial then presents a word problem involving four people sharing three strips of colored paper, demonstrating how each person receives 3/4 of a strip. The video further explains how to express division problems as fractions, using the terms numerator and denominator. Finally, a practice problem is provided, where viewers are asked to solve 3 divided by 6 as a fraction and reduce it to 1/2.
