Whole Numbers Divided by Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to solve word problems involving division of whole numbers by fractions. It uses three examples: Jessica's popcorn distribution, Jonathan's hamburger preparation, and Meg's cookie recipe. Each example is broken down into steps, showing how to model the problem, divide the quantities, and count the results. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding division with fractions in practical scenarios.

If Jessica has 5 tubs of popcorn and gives each friend half a tub, how many friends can she serve?

• 5 friends

• 8 friends

• 10 friends

• 12 friends

Jonathan has 4 lbs of ground beef. If each hamburger patty weighs 1/4 lb, how many patties can he make?

• 8 patties

• 12 patties

• 16 patties

• 20 patties

What is the division equation for Jonathan's hamburger problem?

• 4 / 1/4 = 16

• 4 / 1/2 = 8

• 4 / 1/3 = 12

• 4 / 1/5 = 20

Meg has 2 cups of sugar. If each batch of cookies requires 2/3 cup of sugar, how many batches can she make?

• 2 batches

• 5 batches

• 3 batches

• 4 batches

What is the division equation for Meg's cookie recipe?

• 2 / 1/2 = 4

• 2 / 2/3 = 3

• 2 / 3/4 = 2.67

• 2 / 1/3 = 6
