B. You need to share your model among __________ equal groups.

C. Since 2 wholes cannot be shared among 4 groups without regrouping, cut your model apart to show the tenths.
There are ______ tenths in 2.4.
Share the tenths equally among the 4 groups.
There are ______ ones and ______ tenths in each group.
Write a decimal for the amount in each group.

D. Use your model to complete the number sentence.
2.4 ÷ 4 = ___________
So, the length of each side of the frame will be ___________ meter.
A. Shade decimal models to show 2.4.
B. You need to share your model among  4 equal groups.
C. Since 2 wholes cannot be shared among 4 groups without regrouping, cut your model apart to show the tenths.
There are 24  tenths in 2.4.
Share the tenths equally among the 4 groups.
There are 0 ones and 6 tenths in each group.
Write a decimal for the amount in each group.
D. Use your model to complete the number sentence.
2.4 ÷ 4 =0.6
So, the length of each side of the frame will be 0.6 meter.
Explanation:
This is done by base 10 blocks model

Replace the ones blocks with tenths blocks. You have a total of 24 tenths blocks
Group the blocks into groups of 0.6 each.
There are four groups of 0.6. So, 2.4 ÷ 4 = 0.6

Kyle has a roll of ribbon 3.21 yards long. He cuts the ribbon into 3 equal lengths. How long is each piece of ribbon?

Divide. 3.21 ÷ 3

STEP 1:
Use base-ten blocks to show 3.21.
Remember that a flat represents one, a long represents one tenth, and a small cube represents one hundredth.
There are __________ one(s), ________ tenth(s), and _________ hundredth(s).

STEP 2:
Share the ones.
Share an equal number of ones among 3 groups.
There is __________ one(s) shared in each group and _________ one(s) left over.

STEP 3:
Share the tenths.
Two tenths cannot be shared among 3 groups without regrouping. Regroup the tenths by replacing them with hundredths.
There are __________ tenth(s) shared in each group and __________ tenth(s) left over.
There are now __________ hundredth(s).

STEP 4:
Share the hundredths.
Share the 21 hundredths equally among the 3 groups.
There are _________ hundredth(s) shared in each group and _________ hundredth(s) left over.
So, each piece of ribbon is __________ yards long.

STEP 1:
Remember that a flat represents one, a long represents one tenth, and a small cube represents one hundredth.
There are 3  one(s), 2  tenth(s), and 1 hundredth(s).

STEP 2:
Share the ones.
Share an equal number of ones among 3 groups.
There is 3 one(s) shared in each group and 0 one(s) left over.

STEP 3:
Share the tenths.
Two tenths cannot be shared among 3 groups without regrouping. Regroup the tenths by replacing them with hundredths.
There are 0  tenth(s) shared in each group and 0 tenth(s) left over.
There are now 21 hundredth(s).

STEP 4:
Share the hundredths.
Share the 21 hundredths equally among the 3 groups.
There are 21 hundredth(s) shared in each group and 0 hundredth(s) left over.
So, each piece of ribbon is 1.07 yards long.
