The quotient is 4 X 4 = 16, 16 represents 16 parts are there in 4 wholes which are of$$\frac{1}{4}$$-size part.

Turn and Talk How would the problem change if the equation were 4 ÷ $$\frac{1}{8}$$ = t?
Answer:
t = 32,
Equation:
t = 4 ÷ $$\frac{1}{8}$$,

Answer:
Word problem:
“8 friends shared $$\frac{1}{10}$$ box of candies among themselves, how many candies did they shared?”,
80 candies,

Explanation:
Word problem that can be modeled by
r = 8 ÷ $$\frac{1}{10}$$ is
Word problem:
“8 friends shared $$\frac{1}{10}$$ box of candies among themselves, how many candies did they shared?”,
Let r be number of candies shared among friends
so r = 8 ÷ $$\frac{1}{10}$$ = 8 X 10 = 80 candies.

On Your Own

Question 3.
Use Tools Write and solve a division word problem for the visual model.

Answer:
Word problem:
“You got 5 boxes of pencils each box is divided into $$\frac{1}{6}$$ part, how many total pencils are there?”,
30 pencils,

Explanation:
Wrote and solved a division word problem for the visual model as Word problem:
“You got 5 boxes of pencils each box is divided into $$\frac{1}{6}$$ part, how many total pencils are there?”, 5 ÷$$\frac{1}{6}$$ = 5 X 6 = 30 pencils.

Question 4.
Reason Harry has two pounds of sculpting clay. He divides the clay into $$\frac{1}{16}$$-pound blocks. Can this situation be modeled by 16 ÷ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = b and 2 ÷ $$\frac{1}{16}$$ = b? Explain.
Answer:
No it can be not modeled by both 16 ÷ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = b and
2 ÷ $$\frac{1}{16}$$ = b,
It can be only modeled by 2 ÷ $$\frac{1}{16}$$ = b,

Explanation:
Given Harry has two pounds of sculpting clay.
He divides the clay into $$\frac{1}{16}$$-pound blocks. This situation cannot be modeled by
16 ÷ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ = b and 2 ÷ $$\frac{1}{16}$$ = b as the question is 2 pounds is divided by $$\frac{1}{16}$$-pound blocks not 16 pounds of sculpting clay dividived by $$\frac{1}{16}$$ – pound blocks. So both cannot
be modeled only  2 ÷ $$\frac{1}{16}$$ = b, can be modeled as per given situation.

Describe what the quotient means in the context of your problem.
Answer:
40 apples,

Explanation:
Given word problem as “There are 4 boxes of apples each box contains each box contains $$\frac{1}{10}$$ of apples,
total how many apples are there?”, Let s are number of apples, So number of apples are
s = 4 ÷ $$\frac{1}{10}$$ = 4 X 10 = 40,
here quotient means number of apples 40.
