Module 2 – Lesson 8Lesson Topic: Dividing Fractions and Mixed

Numbers

Lesson Objective: I can…• Divide fractions by mixed numbers by

first converting the mixed numbers into a fraction with a value larger

than one• Use equations to find quotients

Example 1

Carli has 4 ½ walls left to paint in order for all the bedrooms in her house to have the same color paint. However, she has used almost all of her paint and only has 5/6 of a gallon left. How much paint can she use on each wall in order to have enough to paint the remaining walls?

How would we set this problem up in order to solve it?

Example 2

Calculate the quotient

2/5 ÷ 3 4/7

What are the steps we would take in order to solve this problem?

Independent ExercisesFor each of the questions below, solve the division problem and model your answer.

1. 3/4 ÷ 5 1/5

2. 3/7 ÷ 2 1/2

3. 5/8 ÷ 6 5/6

4. 5/8 ÷ 8 3/10

ClosingMemory Game!

You will each be given a notecard with a mixed-number division problem on it. Solve the problem on

your iPad on Screen Chomp. Once you have the answer to your problem, write your name in the

corresponding number on the board.

** Do NOT write on the notecards.. Each class will be using them**
