of  
2 3 2 3
1 1 1
1  
We have 3 : 2 3 6

And we take half of it!

NOTES: Divide Fractions with Models
8  2 means how many 2 ’s are in 8 ?

So, I have 4 groups of 2!

Let’s try a fraction:
1 1
4 means how many ’s are in 4 ?
2 2

So, I have 8 groups of ½!

 NOTES: Dividing Fractions
VOCAB: The product of a fraction and its reciprocal (or
multiplicative inverse) is 1.
…To make a reciprocal, flip the fraction upside down!

1. Rewrite in fraction form – Turn mixed #’s &

whole #’s into improper fractions!
2. Multiply by the reciprocal.
**Keep It – Change It – Flip It Method
3. As always…SIMPLIFY!

**If you want to find common denominators,
you can. Your denominators will divide
away, and you will divide the numerators
straight across.

Once you have a
3÷2=

common
denominator, divide 2
straight across.
