The model represents the quotient of two fractions.

Which equation does this model represent?

A. 5/6 ÷ 1/2 = 1 2/3
В. 2 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 5/6
C. 5/6 ÷ 2 1/2 = 1/3
D. 2 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 5

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The shaded portion of the three large rectangles is 2 1/2 of them. The divisions indicated by the fractions at the bottom are 1/2. The figure shows that 2 1/2 can be divided by 1/2 with the result that 1/2 goes into 2 1/2 five times.

This description seems to match the equation of choice D.
