Example Question #1 : Interpret Division Of A Unit Fraction By A Whole Number : Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.B.7a

It takes one person half of a day to clean Milton's house. Milton's grandparents are coming to visit, so Milton's mom tells Milton and his three siblings that they need to clean the house. If the four kids split up the cleaning time equally, what fraction of the day does Milton spend cleaning?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}\div 4=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{4}{1}=2\ days$

$\frac{1}{2}\div 4=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}\ of\ the\ day$

$\frac{1}{2}\div 4=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{6}\ of\ the\ day$

$\frac{1}{2}\div 3=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{3}{1}=\frac{3}{2}\ of\ the\ day$

$\frac{1}{2}\div 3=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}\ of\ the\ day$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{2}\div 4=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}\ of\ the\ day$
