Glenn wants to make flower decorations out of 1 meter of ribbon to wrap his best friend's birthday gift. Each flower uses 1/4 meter of ribbon. To determine how many flowers Glenn can make, the document explains that if 1 is divided into 1/4 parts, there are 4 parts. Therefore, Glenn can make 4 flowers from the 1 meter of ribbon. The document then provides additional examples and explanations of dividing fractions and whole numbers.

1. WEEK 8-DAY 1

2. Read the problem below
Glenn’s best friend is celebrating
her birthday next week. He wants to
surprise his best friend with a gift. He
has 1 m ribbon. He will use this to
make a flower decoration to wrap the
gift. How many flowers will Glenn make
out of the 1-meter ribbon, if one flower
consumed 𝟏/𝟒 meter?

3. To answer the problem above, consider
the illustrations shown below.

4. The expression is read as, “One
divided by one-fourth is equal to N”,
where N represents the unknown or what
will be the answer.
Divide each whole into equal fourths to
determine how many fourths are in one
whole.

5. In the number line above, 1 was divided by 𝟏/𝟒.
How many fourths are there in one whole?
Answer: There are 4-fourths in one whole
number.

6. To answer the problem: How many flowers will
Glenn make out of the 1-meter ribbon, if one
flower consumed 𝟏/𝟒 meter?
4 number of flowers were made out of
the 1-meter ribbon.

7. Consider another example below:
Divide each whole into
equal halves to determine how
many halves are there in eight
wholes.

9. Directions: Fill in the blanks.

11. Answer Key:

12. Fractions are a way to represent
parts of a whole. It is written in a/b.
The denominator b is the number
of equal parts the whole has been
divided into, and the numerator a
indicates how many parts are
included.

16. Review:

17. Fractions are well understood if it’s
represented by a circle or rectangular
shape. It is easier to visualizes such as
halves, thirds and quarter or those
denominators that has more factors such
as eights and twelfths. Using fraction
strip, it will help you visualized fractions.

18. Let’s read and analyzed the given problem.
Demy walks home after school then suddenly
he passed by a chunk of wood. An idea popped up
to his mind and wanted to share it to her sister. He
brought it home and chopped the chunk of wood
equally.
Answer the given questions.

22. Fractions are a way to represent
parts of a whole. It is written in a/b.
The denominator b is the number
of equal parts the whole has been
divided into, and the numerator a
indicates how many parts are
included.

23. Directions: Choose the letter of the correct equation that fits the
illustration of the division of fractions given below.

28. Review:
Give the lowest term then write the
reciprocal of the following fractions.

29. Division of fractions is a simple
operation. You will be surprised to
know that division of one fraction by
other fraction is actually a process of
multiplication of fractions.

30. When dividing a whole number by a
fraction, you are finding how many groups of
the fraction you can fit in the whole. The
standard way of dividing a whole number by
a fraction is to multiply the whole number by
the reciprocal of the fraction. You can also
draw a diagram to help you visualize the
process. You need to remember do
multiplication or division first before you do
addition or subtraction.

32. • To divide a whole number by a fraction, multiply the
dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. In order to find
the reciprocal of a fraction, reverse the position of the
numerator and the denominator.
• If the fraction is a mixed number, change the mixed
number to an improper fraction first then get the
reciprocal of the given improper fraction.
• If the numbers to be divided are mixed numbers,
change them first to improper fractions before dividing.
