Fractions and Division (Part 2)

The video tutorial explains how division can result in fractions when the dividend is not a multiple of the divisor. Using examples like splitting a cookie into halves and thirds, it demonstrates that dividing whole numbers can yield fractional results. The lesson emphasizes understanding fractions as division outcomes and encourages learners to visualize these concepts through models.

What happens when you divide a number that is not a multiple of the divisor?

• You get a remainder.

• The division is not possible.

• You get a fraction as a result.

• You always get a whole number.

If you split a cookie into two equal parts, what fraction does each part represent?

• 1

• 1/4

When dividing 1 by 2, what is the result?

• 1

• 0

• 1/2
