Dividing Fractions and Visualizations

Dr. Dickinson's video tutorial explores dividing fractions using real-life examples like pizza and brownies. The video demonstrates how to divide fractions by whole numbers and other fractions, and checks the results using multiplication. The tutorial emphasizes understanding through practical examples and provides instructions for students to practice on their own.

What is the main topic of the video presented by Dr. Dickinson?

• Subtracting fractions

• Multiplying fractions

• Dividing fractions

• Adding fractions

What tool is used in the video to help visualize dividing fractions?

• Prezi

• Microsoft PowerPoint

• Keynote

• Google Slides

In the pizza example, how many pizzas are initially available?

• Three

• Four

• One

• Two

How are the pizzas divided in the example?

• Into sixteenths

• Into eighths

• Into quarters

• Into halves

What is the quotient when dividing three whole pizzas into eighths?

• 8

• 24

• 16

• 32

When dividing a fraction by a whole number, what happens to the quotient?

• It becomes smaller

• It becomes larger

• It stays the same

• It becomes zero

What is the purpose of checking division with multiplication in the pizza example?

• To change the divisor

• To verify the division result

• To simplify the fraction

• To find a new quotient

What is the multiplication equation used to check the division of pizzas?

• 24 x 1/8 = 3

• 3 x 1/8 = 24

• 1/8 x 24 = 3

• 1/8 x 3 = 24

In the brownie example, how is the pan initially divided?

• Into eighths

• Into fourths

• Into thirds

• Into halves

What is the division equation for the brownie example?

• 1/3 divided by 1/4

• 1/2 divided by 1/3

• 1/2 divided by 1/4

• 1/4 divided by 1/2
