Answer:
Texas-Go-Math-Grade-5-Lesson-6.4-Answer-Key-14
Explanation:
In the above image, we can observe 3 units with 3 fraction strips in each unit. Divide the whole number by a fraction. If we divide 3 by 1/3 then the result is 9 because when we multiply 9 with 1/3 the result is 3.

3 ÷ \(\frac{1}{6}\) = ____________ because ________ × \(\frac{1}{6}\) = 3.
Answer:
3 ÷ 1/6 = 18 because 18 × 1/6 = 3.
Explanation:
In the above image, we can observe that the whole number is divided by a fraction. If we divide 3 by 1/6 then the result is 18. Because when we multiply 18 with 1/6 the product is 3. So, the quotient is correct.

Question 3.
Texas Go Math Grade 5 Lesson 6.4 Answer Key 16
\(\frac{1}{4}\) ÷ 2= ____________ because ________ × 2 = \(\frac{1}{4}\).
Answer:
1/4 ÷ 2= 1/8 because 1/8 × 2 =1/4.
Explanation:
In the above image we can observe that 1/4 is divided into 2 equal fraction strips. If we divide 1/4 by 2 then the result is 1/8. Because when we multiply 1/8 with 2 the product is 1/4. So, the quotient is correct.

Question 4.
Emilio and Julia used different ways to find \(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 4. Emilio used a model to find the quotient. Julia used a related multiplication equation to find the quotient. Whose answer makes sense? Whose answer is nonsense? Explain your reasoning.
Texas Go Math Grade 5 Lesson 6.4 Answer Key 3
Emilio’s Work
Texas Go Math Grade 5 Lesson 6.4 Answer Key 4

Julia’s Work
If \(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 4 = ☐, then ☐ × \(\frac{1}{2}\)
I know that \(\frac{1}{8}\) × 4 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
So, \(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 4 = \(\frac{1}{8}\) because \(\frac{1}{8}\) × 4 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer:
Emilio’s Work
Texas-Go-Math-Grade-5-Lesson-6.4-Answer-Key-4
Emilio’s answer is nonsense.
Julia’s Work
If 1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8, then 1/8 × 4 = 1/2.
I know that 1/8 × 4 = 1/2
So,1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8 because 1/8 × 4 =1/2.
Julia’s answer have sense.
Explanation:
Emilio and Julia used different ways to find 1/2 ÷ 4. Emilio used a model to find the quotient. Emilio answer is nonsense because when we divide 1/2 by 4 the result is 1/8. But Emilio’s answer is 1/4. Julia used a related multiplication equation to find the quotient. If we divided 1/2 by 4 the result is 1/8 then multiply 1/8 with 4 the result is 1/2. So, Julia’s answer have sense.

Lesson 6.4 Answer Key Go Math Grade 5 Question 5.
For the answer that is nonsense, describe how to find the correct answer.
Answer:
1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
Explanation:
The answer that is nonsense we can find the correct answer by using a related multiplication equation. Divide 1/2 by 4 then the result is 1/8.

Question 6.
Multi-Step If you were going to find \(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 5, explain how you would find the quotient using fraction strips. Write an equation to show the quotient.
Answer:
Place a strip under a 1/2. We have to find 5 fraction strips, all with the same denominator, that fit exactly under the 1/2 strip.
Each piece is 1/10 of the whole.
Record and check the quotient.
1/2 ÷ 5 = 1/10 because 1/10 × 5 = 1/2.
Explanation:
We can find the quotient using fraction strips. Divide 1/2 by 5 the result is 1/10. The equation is 1/2 ÷ 5 = 1/10.
