SIMPLE DIVISION


         10    2=5

How else can we divide 10 by 2?
10 ÷ 2 = 5
  How else can we divide 10 by 2?
               10 x

              1       10       1    10
       10 x   2
                  =    1   x   2
                                   =2=   5

You can multiply by the reciprocal of 2
   and you will get the same result.
         1
  2 and    are called multiplicative
         2
       inverses, or reciprocals.
METHOD #1: USING THE RULES
  FOR DIVIDING FRACTIONS:
                 “K. C. F.”
        1) Keepthe first fraction.
          2) Change the to x.
       3) Flip the second fraction.
           1                  3  1
Ex: a) 5 4                 b)    2
                            4
                            3   2     6     1
K C FK C Fx= =                  1     4
                                          1
                                            2
                            4
      5 x 4 = 20
METHOD #2: MODELING
How can the quotient be larger than the
         dividend and/or divisor?
                       1
                  5 4
This actually means how many ¼-sized
      pieces can fit into 5 wholes?
MORE MODELING…
                     3    1
                     4    2

    How many ½-sized pieces fit in ¾?
        3
        4
                 1            1
                 2            2




1 whole and 1 half of the ½-sized pieces fit in the
                    ¾ space, so
  =        3 1     1
                 1
             4   2   2
EVEN MORE MODELING…
                 1       3
                 2
                     ÷   4


What part of the ¾-sized piece fits in ½?
   1
   2
   3
   4

                             2
                             of the ¾-sized
                             3
                              piece fits in ½
METHOD #3: DIVIDING DECIMALS
               INSTEAD
Students can turn both fractions into
  decimals and can divide those instead:
          1 = 0.5         3
                            = 0.75
                2               4

 3       1                       1     3
     ÷     = 0.75 ÷ 0.5   ÷   = 0.5 ÷ 0.75
 4       2                       2     4

Dividing fractions

  • 2. SIMPLE DIVISION 10 2=5 How else can we divide 10 by 2?
  • 3. 10 ÷ 2 = 5 How else can we divide 10 by 2? 10 x 1 10 1 10 10 x 2 = 1 x 2 =2= 5 You can multiply by the reciprocal of 2 and you will get the same result. 1 2 and are called multiplicative 2 inverses, or reciprocals.
  • 4. METHOD #1: USING THE RULES FOR DIVIDING FRACTIONS: “K. C. F.” 1) Keepthe first fraction. 2) Change the to x. 3) Flip the second fraction. 1 3 1 Ex: a) 5 4 b) 2 4 3 2 6 1 K C FK C Fx= = 1 4 1 2 4 5 x 4 = 20
  • 5. METHOD #2: MODELING How can the quotient be larger than the dividend and/or divisor? 1 5 4 This actually means how many ¼-sized pieces can fit into 5 wholes?
  • 6. MORE MODELING… 3 1 4 2 How many ½-sized pieces fit in ¾? 3 4 1 1 2 2 1 whole and 1 half of the ½-sized pieces fit in the ¾ space, so = 3 1 1 1 4 2 2
  • 7. EVEN MORE MODELING… 1 3 2 ÷ 4 What part of the ¾-sized piece fits in ½? 1 2 3 4 2 of the ¾-sized 3 piece fits in ½
  • 8. METHOD #3: DIVIDING DECIMALS INSTEAD Students can turn both fractions into decimals and can divide those instead: 1 = 0.5 3 = 0.75 2 4 3 1 1 3 ÷ = 0.75 ÷ 0.5 ÷ = 0.5 ÷ 0.75 4 2 2 4
