i took my blocks and built two walls. in each wall one block was one fourth of themall. two divided by one fourth equals eight; eight blocks to build the wall at my castlegate. to divide a whole number by a fraction westart
How To Add Fractions With Remainders, by dividing the whole number into fractionalparts. then count the number of fractional partspresent; and that will be the quotient. then i took my blocks and built three seats.
one block was one fifth of each. three divided by one fifth equals fifteen; that’s how many blocks it took to buildmy seats. when there’s a fraction we want to divideby, we can flip the fraction and multiply. think of three divided by one fifth: we’ll get the same answer if we multiplyand flip. so these expressions are equal, and we call five over one, one-fifth's reciprocal.
