Using Bar Models to Write and Solve Division Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a division problem using bar models. It begins with a scenario where five friends share a pizza bill, each paying $5.25. The tutorial demonstrates how to represent this situation with a bar model and write a division equation. It explains the concepts of dividend, divisor, and quotient, and uses fact families to verify the solution. An alternative example is provided to show how bar models can be applied to different problems.

What is the relationship between the total cost of the meal and the amount each friend paid?

Explain how to check if the solution for the total cost of the meal is correct.

If the total bill for a different pizza dinner is $19.40 and each friend paid $4.85, how would you set up the equation to find the number of friends?
