In this
practice page, we will practice using the second method: partitioning, but first
let's review.

How many whole
squares are shown?

6
3
0
2
So what
is the denominator that tells you into how many sections to divide
the squares?
½
¼
¾
⅝
What is the
equation shown by the picture above?
2 ÷ ¼
6 ÷ ¾
3 ÷ ⅝
3 ÷ ½
So what is the
answer to this problem?
5
6
10
5
