  3. Problem of the Day Rachel is building a doghouse. She needs to cut a 12-foot-long board into lengths of 65 in. How many lengths can she cut, and will there be any wood left? If so, how much? 2 cuts; yes, 14 in.

  4. Learn to divide fractions and mixed numbers.

  5. Vocabulary reciprocal

  6. Reciprocals can help you divide by fractions. Two numbers are reciprocals if their product is 1. Copy to Notebook!
