that Billy has 1/4 of a pound of trail mix.

To-infinitive

So pause this video and try to figure that out.

All right, now let's work through this together.

So Billy starts with 1/4 of a pound of trail mix.

let's just imagine this rectangle is a whole pound,

I could divide it into four equal sections.

So let's see, this would be roughly two equal sections,

and then if I were to divide each of those into two,

So Billy is starting with 1/4 of a pound.

Draw a little bit, try to make it a little bit more equal.

let's start with our total amount of trail mix,

and then we're going to divide it into two equal shares.

So when they ask us how much trail mix would they each get,

all of these four equal sections and divide them into two?

and then I would divide this one into two.

the whole is divided into eight equal sections.

And so you can see, that when you start with that 1/4,

and you divide it into two equal sections,

so one section and two equal sections right over there,

So we are told Matt is filling containers of rice.

Each container holds 1/4 of a kilogram of rice.

And then they tell us if Matt has three kilograms of rice,

All right, so let's think about what's going on.

We're starting with a total amount, three kilograms of rice,

and we're trying to divide it into equal sections.

In this case we're trying to divide it into equal sections

what three divided by 1/4 is going to be equal to.

Now to imagine that, let's imagine three wholes,

So that is one whole, this is two wholes,

trying to make them all the same, but it's hand-drawn,

And he wants to divide it into sections of 1/4.

So let's see, if we were to divide it into halves,

If you divide these three wholes into halves.

But then if you want to divide it into fourths,

I'm trying to get it as close to equal sections.

Well, there are one, two, three, four, five, six,

And I encourage you to really think about

that if we take a whole number like three

And we're getting a value that is four times three.
