 Good morning!
Welcome to our Math class.
 Drill:
Give the reciprocal or the
multiplicative inverse of the following
fractions.
1. 1/3 3/1 4. 7/8 8/7
2. 4/5 5/4 5. 2/5 5/2
3. 3/4 4/3
 Drill:
Give the common factor of the
following numbers.

1. 8, 12 4 4. 3, 12 3
2. 5, 15 5 5. 4, 10 2
3. 6, 9 3
Review:
Recall the process in multiplication of
fraction.

Presentation:
Mon is helping his father in their carpentry
shop. They have 2 meters of wood which
they will use to make frames. If each frame
will be 2/3 m long, how many frames will
they be able to make?
Based from the video, how do
we divide fractions?

What are the things that we

need to do in dividing
fractions?
Let’s take a look on the problem
presented.
Mon is helping his father in their
carpentry shop. They have 2 meters
of wood which they will use to
make frames. If each frame will be
2/3 m long, how many frames will
they be able to make?
Let’s have the mathematical
sentence.

2÷2 =n
3
2 meters = length of wood which Mon and father have
2 meters = length of frame which Mon and father will make
3
N = number of frames they will be able to make
 Let’s do the activity!

Present this mathematical sentence.

1.Copy the number. Remember that
1. 2 ÷ 2/3 = n whole number has always a
denominator of 1.
change 2. Change division sign to
2 x 3 reciprocal multiplication
3. find the reciprocal of the second
1 2 fraction
1 2 x 3 = 3 or 3 4. proceed to multiplication process,
cancel 1 2 1 Do the cross cancellation if they can
1 be cancelled-out.
They can make 3 frames from the 2 meters of wood 5. Reduce answer to lowest terms
whenever possible.
2. 5 ÷ 3 = n
6 4
Apply cancellation
2 1.Copy the number.
5 x 4= 5 x 4 = 10 Remember that whole
number has always a
6 3 6 3 9 denominator of 1.
3 Improper fraction2. Change division sign to
multiplication
3. find the reciprocal of the
__1__ = 1 1 second fraction
4. proceed to
9 /10 9 multiplication process, Do
the cross cancellation if
9 they can be cancelled-out.
5. Reduce answer to
1 lowest terms whenever
possible.
 3. 6 ÷ 4 = n
7 Apply cancellation
whenever possible
