Mr. Greenfield, a sixth-grade math teacher, demonstrates how to divide fractions using both algorithms and models. He solves three problems: 3/4 ÷ 1/8, 2/3 ÷ 1/2, and 3/4 ÷ 7/8. For each problem, he first uses the division algorithm and then verifies the solution with fraction strip models. The video emphasizes understanding the relationship between fractions and their division through visual models.

What is the first step in dividing fractions as demonstrated?

• Subtract the fractions

• Multiply the fractions directly

• Find the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply

• Add the fractions
