Question

draw a model to solve the division problem.
The problem is
1 1/2divided by1/4=
so I know you make 1 1/2 into3/2
3/2*4/1=6
I know how to do that part but have no idea how to draw a model for it, can you explain it?
Thank you
How about thinking like this:

You want to hand out 1 1/2 dollars or 3/2 dollars in coins
If you want to use only quarters (1/4 of a dollar), how many coins (quarters) will you need ?
obvious 6 quarters

so 1 1/2 รท 1/4 = 6
