6th grade Q1

Making problems with division of mixed fractions is like designing a fun math puzzle. Follow these steps to create your own!

Step 1: Pick your fractions

Start by choosing two mixed fractions with small denominators that are easy to work with, like $3\frac{1}{2}$ and $1\frac{3}{4}$. These will be the numbers in your division problem:

Step 2: Set up a story

Think of a situation where you need to divide something, like food, juice, or supplies. For example, what if you have some juice and decide to pour it into glasses for your friends?

Step 3: Write down your problem

Write your problem as a clear question. Include your chosen fractions and the story.

You have $3\frac{1}{2}$ liters of juice. You pour it into glasses that each hold $1\frac{3}{4}$ liters. How many glasses can you fill?

Step 4: Solve the problem
Before giving your problem to someone else, solve it yourself so you know the answer. Show all your steps so you can explain it if needed.
