Please help me do each question using fraction strips. 1= 2/5 ÷ 1/4. 2= 3/4 ÷ 2/3
3= 3/5 ÷ 1/6. 4= 3/4 ÷ 1/3.
Sure, I can help you solve these division problems using fraction strips step-by-step.
1) To divide 2/5 by 1/4:
- Start by representing 2/5 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 5 equal parts and shade 2 parts.
- Then represent 1/4 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 4 equal parts.
- Now, count the number of shaded parts in the first fraction (2/5) and divide it by the total number of parts in the second fraction (1/4).
- In this case, you would have 2 shaded parts divided by 1 part, which gives you a result of 2/1 or simply 2.
Therefore, 2/5 ÷ 1/4 = 2.
2) To divide 3/4 by 2/3:
- Represent 3/4 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 4 equal parts and shade 3 parts.
- Then represent 2/3 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 3 equal parts.
- Now, count the number of shaded parts in the first fraction (3/4) and divide it by the total number of parts in the second fraction (2/3).
- In this case, you would have 3 shaded parts divided by 2 parts, which gives you a result of 3/2.
Therefore, 3/4 ÷ 2/3 = 3/2.
3) To divide 3/5 by 1/6:
- Represent 3/5 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 5 equal parts and shade 3 parts.
- Then represent 1/6 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 6 equal parts.
- Now, count the number of shaded parts in the first fraction (3/5) and divide it by the total number of parts in the second fraction (1/6).
- In this case, you would have 3 shaded parts divided by 1 part, which gives you a result of 3/1 or simply 3.
Therefore, 3/5 ÷ 1/6 = 3.
4) To divide 3/4 by 1/3:
- Represent 3/4 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 4 equal parts and shade 3 parts.
- Then represent 1/3 using fraction strips. Divide one strip into 3 equal parts.
- Now, count the number of shaded parts in the first fraction (3/4) and divide it by the total number of parts in the second fraction (1/3).
- In this case, you would have 3 shaded parts divided by 1 part, which gives you a result of 3/1 or simply 3.
Therefore, 3/4 ÷ 1/3 = 3.
