Dividing Fractions by Creating Common Units
Explore how creating common unit fractions can transform a fraction-division problem into an equivalent whole-number division problem.
Move the slider to animate how both fractions are rewritten using a common unit fraction (i.e, common denominator). Then observe how the division problem becomes an equivalent whole-number division problem and how the visual model represents quotative (measurement) division..
