I Can create a story context and use a visual fraction model to interpret the division of a unit fraction by a whole number.

Darren thinks about how he can use division of unit fractions by whole numbers in his cooking class. He considers the expression $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ÷ 8. What word problem can be written for $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ÷ 8? Draw a visual model to show the quotient, and then explain what it represents.

Darren prepares soup from $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of flour and
divides among 8 people, each people will get how much portion
of flour soup?

Explanation:
Given Darren thinks about how he can use division of
unit fractions by whole numbers in his cooking class.
He considers the expression $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ÷ 8.
word problem can be written for $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ÷ 8 is
Darren prepares soup from $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of flour and
divides among 8 people, each people will get how much portion
of flour soup?
Drawn a visual model above to show the quotient as
$$\frac{1}{2}$$ ÷ 8 =$$\frac{1}{2}$$ X $$\frac{1}{8}$$ =
$$\frac{1}{2 X 8}$$ = $$\frac{1}{16}$$.

Turn and Talk When dividing a fraction by a whole number, what do you notice about the values of the dividend and the quotient? Explain how they compare.
The divided and quotient value will be less,

Explanation:
Dividing fractions with whole numbers results in a value
less than the given fraction. It is because we are dividing
it into smaller equal parts and the quotient obtained will
be the value of one part out of those.
