When you ask yourself, what does it mean to divide fractions, you might get confused. When you ask what it means to divide fractions, it means that you want to find, for example, how many groups of 2/3 are in 6.
For the steps to solve 6 divided by 2/3, you want to first draw a number line from 0 to 6.
Next, you want to ask yourselves, how many thirds (2/3) are in 6, and you want to do 6*3 to get 18.
Then on you number line, you want to divide every whole on your number line into 3 equal parts.
Once you've done that, you want to ask yourself, how many groups of 2 are in 18. You want to mark it on the number line, and count out how many jumps you had to make.
The answer you get is 9 jumps. 6 divided by 2/3 is 9.
Overall, you know that this strategy works, because you want to multiply 6 by 3 to just find out how many thirds are in 6, 18, and then you want to divide 18 by 2 because it is not 1/3, it is 2/3, to get 9 as your answer.
I think that your pictures really helped explain how the steps worked and you explained it very well so it was easy to understand. Maybe you could change your text so like in the last one 'The answer you' isn't all the way on the right side so it is easier to read. But overall, I think you did good. ��
