Understanding Division with Base Ten Blocks

The video tutorial demonstrates how to find the quotient of three and four-tenths divided by four-tenths using base ten blocks. It begins by modeling the numbers with blocks, then determines how many sets of four-tenths fit into three and four-tenths. The process includes handling remainders and concludes with a multiplication check to verify the result. The final quotient is eight and five-tenths, or 8.5.
