Fractions of an Amount (1)
Today, we will be finding a unit fraction of an amount by dividing an amount into equal groups.
Take a look at this example question:
After counting the marbles, I can see that Ava has 20.
I therefore need to work out 20 ÷ the denominator which is 5 to find one fifth.
To work out the answer to 20 ÷ 5, I need to split the marbles (20) into 5 equal groups:
I have split the marbles into 5 equal groups. Each group has 4 marbles in it.
Therefore, one fifth of Eva's marbles is 4.
For more help with this, watch the PowerPoint below.
