Represent Division as Fractions Using the Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to divide a 5-mile race into three equal parts using a number line. It introduces the problem of placing checkpoints at equal distances, leading to a division problem where 5 miles are divided by 3. The tutorial demonstrates using a number line to visualize the division, resulting in each checkpoint covering 5/3 miles or 1 and 2/3 miles. The lesson emphasizes understanding division with fractions and using visual aids like number lines to solve word problems.
