DIVIDING FRACTIONS. I invited again my friend for pie. Have no fear this is why; For - I baked two with pride. I ate most of one, but no need to cry. Here's another for my friend to try. Eat my friend and don't be shy.

  1. DIVIDING FRACTIONS I invited again my friend for pie.Have no fear this is why;For - I baked two with pride.I ate most of one, but no need to cry.Here's another for my friend to try.Eat my friend and don't be shy. Division of fractions can be shown to be a comparison of one fraction to another. The solution process can be directed by continuing our poem.

  2. THREE-FOURTHS0F FOUR CORRESPONDS TOTHREE-FOURTHSOF TWELVE Have the students, as before, multiply the denominators to see into how many equal pieces the pie is sliced (twelve), and position the quadrilateral of beads between the triangles. Then multiply the second fraction times twelve, the number of slices in the whole pie.

  3. TWO-THIRD0F THREECORRESPONDS TOTWO-THIRDSOF TWELVE This fraction of beads, nine, is represented to students as the slices eaten of the first pie. It is the denominator of the solution fraction. Have students write it under the fraction bar. Now, have students multiply the first fraction times twelve, the slices in the whole pie.

  4. The answer is eight. This fraction of beads is represented to the students as the slices eaten of the second pie by the friend and is the numerator of the solution fraction. Have students write it over the fraction bar.
