How can I use  bar diagrams to divide unit fractions by whole numbers

bobpursley · Accepted Answer

I would draw the bar representing a unit fraction. then, divide it into equal pieces representing the whole number. Now measure the pieces of the bar to see how long they are compared to the original.

bar say is 1/3 long
then divide it into two equal pieces, measure them, they will be half of 1/3 and measure 1/6 long.

1/3 times 1/2 is 1/6 because the two turns into a fraction that is 1/2.
