You want to share 1/2 of a box of chocolates with your friends. How many groups of 1/4 of the box can you make out of the 1/2 box
To determine the number of groups of 1/4 of the box you can make out of 1/2 of the box, you need to divide 1/2 by 1/4.
Dividing fractions involves multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1.
So, (1/2) ÷ (1/4) = (1/2) * (4/1) = 4/2 = 2.
Therefore, you can make 2 groups of 1/4 of the box out of 1/2 of the box.
