Understanding Division with Base Ten Blocks

The video tutorial explains how to find the quotient of four divided by eight-tenths using base ten blocks. It defines the blocks as flats, longs, and bits, representing one whole, one-tenth, and one-hundredth, respectively. The tutorial models the number four using flats and demonstrates counting sets of eight-tenths using longs. It shows that there are five sets of eight-tenths in four, concluding that the quotient is five. The video emphasizes the corresponding multiplication problem: five times eight-tenths equals four.
