Solve Unit Fraction Division Problems Practice Test

A coach has 2 gallons of sports drink. Each player gets $\tfrac{1}{4}$ gallon. This is $2 \div \tfrac{1}{4}$, which answers “how many $\tfrac{1}{4}$-gallon servings are in 2 gallons.” How many players can get a full serving?

Model: Think of 2 whole gallons. Each gallon can be split into 4 fourths; count the total fourths.

A baker has 4 whole pies. Each slice is $\tfrac{1}{8}$ of a pie. This division answers “how many slices of size $\tfrac{1}{8}$ are in 4 pies.” What is $4 \div \tfrac{1}{8}$? (Model: Draw 4 circles and divide each circle into 8 equal slices.)
