Mathematically, it is possible to use reasoning and models to divide unit fractions. When dividing unit fractions, we can use the concept of reciprocal, which means to invert the numerator and denominator of a fraction. For example, to divide 1/2 by 1/3, we can multiply 1/2 by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1 or 3, resulting in 1/2 รท 1/3 = 1/2 x 3/1 = 3/2 or 1 1/2.
Furthermore, we can also use models, such as fraction bars or circles, to visually represent and divide unit fractions. For example, using fraction bars, we can show that dividing 1/2 by 1/3 is the same as finding how many-thirds are in one-half. We can cut the fraction bar of 1/2 into three equal parts, which represent thirds, and see that each third is equal to 1/6, or 2/6 since the fraction bar has two equal parts. Therefore, dividing 1/2 by 1/3 is equal to 2/6, which can be simplified to 1/3.
In conclusion, using reasoning and models is a valid approach to divide unit fractions, and it is possible to get the same answer using different methods. Therefore, I strongly agree that reasoning and models can be used to divide unit fractions.
