Anthony's Scribe Post

In class today we learned to divide fraction's, how to model them, put them on  a number line and how to rewrite them in 3 ways

3 ways to rewrite a fraction:










How Divide Fractions:

You can solve dividing fractions statements in 3 ways 










The first way you can solve 6 divide 1/2 is to make a number line. The interval in this number is 1/2, so you make 12 bumps to get to 6, The answer is 12. 




The second way you can solve it by is by 
making 1/2 a whole, you can make it
a whole by multiplying it by a reciprocal 
which gives you 1. Then take that fraction 
and multiple with the other fraction.






The third way of solving it is to make a model,
make 6 squares then you split it in to half, then 
you count the rectangles and the answer is 12






How to solve 1/2 divide by 2:


  You share 1/2 between 2. You have
  1/2 so you half the half then you share 
   it and you get 1/4. 






Here a video about dividing fractions
