Answer: Bar models can help visualize the process when you divide.

Step-by-step explanation: To do this, you need to know your original amount, in this example it is 3, and the amount you are dividing into, in this case it's ½. A bar is then drawn to represent this amount. The whole bar is split into single units (bars of one). You then split each single unit into two halves.
