Exploring Division of Fractions with Number Line Models

The video tutorial explains how to solve division problems involving fractions using a number line model. It begins with an example of dividing 5/6 by 1/3, illustrating how to determine the number of thirds in 5/6. The tutorial then moves to a second example, dividing 4/5 by 1/4, and demonstrates how to break down the problem using a number line. The video concludes with a review of the number line model and its effectiveness in understanding fraction division.
