Concept of Fraction as a Division
1. Fraction and division are related to each other. The video below explains in detail.
2. Show that 3 divided by 4 is
| 3 |
| 4 |
Let's suppose we have 3 pizzas that are divided equally among 4 friends => 3 ÷ 4.
We will show that each friend gets =>
of a pizza.
We will show that each friend gets =>
| 3 |
| 4 |
3 ÷ 4
=

3 pizzas are divided among 4 friends.
So, each of the friend gets
of each of the 3 pizzas.
So, each of the friend gets
| 1 |
| 4 |
Therefore, each friend gets
