1 2 1 4 = A division equation asks the question........ 1 2 1 4 ? How many 's in Move the 1/4 fraction strip to see how many it takes to cover the 1/2 bar. 1/2 1/4 1/4 1/4
HOW MANY 1/4'S ARE IN ONE-HALF? 1 2 1 4 = 2 To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. Exchanging the numerator and denominator of a fraction forms its reciprocal 4 2 = 1 2 4 1 = X 2 There are2 fourths in one-half. 1/2 1/4 1/4
HOW MANY 1/8'S ARE IN ONE-HALF? 1 2 1 8 = ? Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. 8 2 1 2 8 1 = = X 4 ? There are____ eighths in one-half. 1/8 1/2
HOW MANY 1/8'S ARE IN THREE-FOURTHS? 3 4 1 8 = ? Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. 24 4 = ? 3 4 8 1 = X 6 There areeighths in three-fourths. 1/8 1/4 1/4 1/4
HOW MANY 3/16'S ARE IN THREE-FOURTHS? 3 16 3 4 = ? Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. 48 12 = 3 4 16 3 = X ? 4 There are 3/16 in three-fourths. 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/16 1/16 1/16
REMEMBER!!! When a whole number is in the problem, you must make it the numerator and a 1 becomes the denominator!!! Pull tab for examples!
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. Exchanging the numerator and denominator of a fraction forms its reciprocal You don't believe this little trick? Let me prove it to you! 4 = 2 is the same as 4 x 1 2 = Try another one - use any numbers - it always works!
