Fractions are all around us, but dividing them can be tricky! Let's find out what you already know about dividing fractions by fractions.
It's okay if you aren't sure of the answers to these questions because soon you'll watch a video about an animal shelter that will help you learn all about how to divide a fraction by another fraction. Then after you do some practice problems, you'll take another short quiz so you can compare how you did against where you started.
Syd volunteers every Saturday at the Wag-Some-More Animal Shelter in town. She has been assigned to make dog sweaters for some of the smaller breeds to keep them warm in winter. She has 8 yards of teal wool and each sweater uses 1⁄2 yard of material. How many sweaters can she make?
Maddox is installing new dog crates at the shelter. Each crate measures 3 2⁄3 feet across. If the space for the new crates is 18 1⁄3 feet across, how many crates can Maddox install?
Amber is measuring doses of liquid vitamins for the iguanas. There are 26 ounces left in the bottle. If each dose is 1 1⁄4 ounces, how many doses are left (including partial doses that wouldn't be used)?
Mahika is taking the dogs out for a walk. To make sure the dogs stay hydrated, she brings along water. If her water jug holds 10 1⁄4 liters and each dog will need 3⁄4 of a liter, how many servings of water does the jug hold?
Devon is in charge of making take-home snack bags for the birds when they are adopted. If he has 5 2⁄3 cups of sunflower seeds and each snack bag should contain 2⁄3 of a cup of seeds, how many servings does he have (including partial servings)?
Vineet donated 26 3⁄4 pounds of big dog food to the shelter. If each big dog eats 1 1⁄4 pounds of dog food per meal, how many meals will the dogs get from his donation?
How confident are you about dividing fractions?
