In this lesson, you will learn how to divide a fraction by a whole number using the concept of equal groups. We will explore examples that clarify these concepts, such as how to find the number of sets of apples when dividing fractions. Be careful not to reverse the dividend and divisor, as this can lead to mistakes. We will ensure that the answers make sense and help you understand the relationship between fractions and whole numbers better. Join us to master dividing fractions!
