Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
Dividing five into pieces that are each one half of a whole is the same as calculating 5 ÷ 1/2, which equals 10 pieces.
- 2
When dividing three wholes into pieces that are each 1/6 of a whole, you are determining how many sixths are in three wholes.
- 3
Since there are six sixths in one whole, there are 18 sixths in three wholes because 3 x 6 = 18.
