Dividing Fractions with Common Denominators

The video tutorial explains how to divide fractions with common denominators. It begins with an introduction to the concept and provides three detailed examples: dividing 8/9 by 2/9, 7/9 by 3/9, and 13/10 by 2/10. Each example is demonstrated using models and highlights the 'numerator trick' for simplifying the process. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points and a preview of the next lesson on dividing fractions without common denominators.

What is the first step in dividing fractions with common denominators?

• Subtract the denominators

• Ask how many groups of the divisor fit into the dividend

• Find the reciprocal of the divisor

• Multiply the numerators

What is the general rule for dividing fractions with the same denominator?

• a/b ÷ c/d = a/c

• a/b ÷ c/d = a/d
