5.NF.7.a (Mathematics)
Standard Identifier:

Content Area:
Mathematics
Grade:
5
Domain:
Number and Operations—Fractions
Cluster:
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
Standard:
Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. Interpret division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number, and compute such quotients. For example, create a story context for (1/3) ÷ 4, and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient. Use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (1/3) ÷ 4 = 1/12 because (1/12) × 4 = 1/3.
Footnote:
Students able to multiply fractions in general can develop strategies to divide fractions in general, by reasoning about the relationship between multiplication and division. But division of a fraction by a fraction is not a requirement at this grade.
