5.NF.7b - Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions

Sat, 07/15/2017 - 06:26 -- editor

Interpret division of a whole number by a unit fraction, and compute such quotients.
For example, create a story context for 4 ÷ (1/5) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that 4 ÷ (1/5) = 20 because 20 × (1/5) = 4.
