A number line going from 0 to 2 in increments of 1. There are 3 equal spaces between each number. Arrows between each space.

Question

What division problem does the model represent?

Divided by one-third
The quotient is
.

Answer 1

The model you described represents dividing a number (in this case, 2) by one-third.

To illustrate this mathematically, the division problem can be stated as:

\[ 2 \div \frac{1}{3} \]

This can also be interpreted as finding out how many one-third units fit into 2.

When performing the calculation:

\[ 2 \div \frac{1}{3} = 2 \times 3 = 6 \]

So the quotient is 6.

In summary, the division problem represented by your model is:

\[ 2 \div \frac{1}{3} \]

And the quotient is 6.
