Small-group support

Only the divisor is replaced by its reciprocal.

How many 1/8 pieces fit in 3/4?

Fraction division rewrites “how many of these fit” as multiplication by the reciprocal. Multiplying the fractions without inverting answers a shrinking, “part of a part” question.

Problem 1 of 4. A short entry task, a model, guided examples, then a new independent try. Frames are optional.

How many groups of 1/8 are in 3/4?

Support frame: 3/4 × 8/1
