VLOG 7: Division of Fractions (Flow)

1) Dividing fractions is easier to understand if you already know how to multiply fractions. 2) To divide fractions, take the reciprocal of the divisor and change the division sign to a multiplication sign. Then multiply the numerators and denominators. 3) For example, to divide 1/2 by 1/4, take the reciprocal of 1/4 which is 4/1. Then 1/2 ÷ 1/4 becomes 1/2 × 4/1 = 2/1 = 2.

VLOG 7: Division of Fractions (Flow)

A. Activity (sample convo, can be modified or revised fully)


Jiam: Bro, bro. Di ko to magets!
Ute: Hah? Bakit? May calculator na nga di mo pa magets?
Jiam: Dinidivide ko lang naman yung 20 ng ¼.
Ute: Oh tapos?
Jiam: Eh bakit imbis na lumiit yung sagot, lumalaki pa, eh divide nga? Bakit 80 yung
lumalabas?
Ute: Di kaya may sira yang calculator mo?
Jiam: Hmmmmm. Di ko rin alam eh. Kaya nga tinatanong kita:
Ute: Tanungin natin audience natin. Bakit imbis na mas maliit sa 20, mas lalo pang lumaki
ang result kapag ito ay dinivide by ¼?

B. Analysis
Jiam: Anong sabi nila?
Ute: Parang alam nila. At ako, alam ko rin!
Jiam: Talaga? Paano?
Ute: Ganito kasi yon. Sa isang kilo ng asukal. Ilang ½ meron?
Jiam: Dalawa!
Ute: Tama! At mas Malaki ang 2 sa 1 diba?
Jiam: OO nga no!
Ute: O eto pa, Ilang ¼ ang meron sa 1 kilo ng sugar?
Jiam: hmmmm. Apat!
Ute: Tama, four! And mas malaki nanaman yun kesa one. Diba?
Jiam: Ay! Parang nagegets ko na!
Ute: Kung iisipin mong Mabuti, yung dinidivide mo kanina na 20 divided by 4 ay para ring 20
x 4.
Jiam: Ay oo nga no. Parang andali lang pala. So imbis na maging mas maliit na number, pag
20 divided by ¼ magiging, 20 x 4 equals 20! Wow. Ang galling!

C. Abstraction
 Tell the viewers that it will be easier to understand division of fractions if they
already know (or mastered) multiplication of fractions.
1 1
 How do we divide fractions, say ÷ ? (It can also be re-stated as, how
2 4

1 1
many ’ s can we get from ?)
4 2
1 1
 We can easily tell that there are two ’s in . But how do we get 2,
4 2
mathematically?
 In dividing fractions, it is important to note the following procedures. Let us

1 1
use ÷ as our example.
2 4
1
 First, we need to determine the reciprocal of the divisor
4
 Define reciprocals (The reciprocal of a number refers to the
multiplicative inverse of the given number. When a given number and
its reciprocal is multiplied, the product is 1)
2∧1
 are reciprocals
2
3
∧4
 4 are reciprocals
3
1 8
 the reciprocal of is ∨simply 8
8 1
1 4
So, in the reciprocal of is or simply 4
4 1
1
 Next, change the operation to multiplication and multiply the dividend by
2

1 4
the reciprocal of which is ∨4
4 1
1 1 1 4
÷ → ×
2 4 2 1
 Since the operation is already multiplication, we can now simply multiply the
numerators, and then the denominators.
1 1 1 4 1×4 4
÷ → × = =
2 4 2 1 2× 1 2
4
 Simplifying our answer, we have =2
2
 Let’s have another example.
2 1
Suppose a small box of cereal contains 12 cups of cereal. How many 1
3 3
cup servings are in the box?
 This problem involves division of fractions. So, understanding the
situation will help us in solving the given problem
2 1
 From the given data, we have 12 ÷1
3 3
 These are mixed numbers. There is still a need for us to write these as
improper fraction.
2 1 38 4
12 ÷1 → ÷
3 3 3 3
 Now that all the mix numbers are written as an improper fractions, we
can now divide these fractions following the procedure we did in our
previous example
4 3
 First, we need the reciprocal of the divisor . It’s reciprocal is
3 4
38
 Change the operation to multiplication and multiply the dividend by
3

4 3
the reciprocal of , which is
3 4
38 4 38 3
÷ → ×
3 3 3 4
 From here, we can already divide common factors from the numerator
and denominator
19 1
38 4 38 3
÷ → ×
3 3 3 4
1 2

 Now, we can multiply the remaining factors with ease.


19× 1 19
=
1× 2 2
19 1 1
 There are (or 9 ) 1 −cup servings in the box.
2 2 3
 Provide other examples whenever necessary.
 [generalize when needed]

D. Application
 Tell the viewers that now it’s their time to answer problems regarding division
of fractions.
 Provide problems about division of fractions.
 Checking/discussing of the answer is an option
