Question

Explain how you would use fraction bars to find the quotient of 10/12 divided by 4/6. What is the quotient?

Answer 1

The quotient is the answer of division.

(10/12)/(4/6)=(10/12)x(6/4)=(10x6)/(12x4)=60/48=5/4

5/4

Answer 2

Draw one whole fraction bar. Next, draw 6 equal bars under it, since you are dividing by sixths. Then draw a twelfths fraction bar with 2 twelfths for each sixth bar. Above the twelfths bar, circle groups of 4 sixths. There is one group of 4/6 with 1/6 remaining. Since 1/6 is 1/4 of 4/6, the quotient is 1 1/4.
