Dividing Unit Fractions by Whole Numbers Using the Multiplicative Inverse

This video tutorial teaches how to divide fractions by whole numbers using the multiplicative inverse. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a visual explanation using apples to demonstrate division. The tutorial then uses models to solve problems like 1/3 divided by 4 and 1/8 divided by 2, emphasizing the importance of understanding the multiplicative inverse rather than just memorizing algorithms.

How does multiplying by the reciprocal relate to dividing fractions?

Describe the steps to divide 1/8 by 2 using a model.
