Represent 8÷238 \div \frac{2}{3} using a diagram and write an equation to solve it.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to divide8 by/3. We are asked to draw a diagram to represent this division3. We are asked to write an equation to show the solution

STEP 2

First, let's understand the division operation. When we say "8 divided by2/", it means how many2/ are there in8.

STEP 3

To represent this in a diagram, we can draw a line and mark it as8 units long. This represents the total amount we are dividing.

STEP 4

Next, we divide this line into segments, each of length2/3 units. This represents the amount we are dividing by.

STEP 5

Count the number of segments to find the result of the division.

STEP 6

Now, let's write the equation to show the solution. The equation for division is8÷23=?8 \div \frac{2}{3} = ?

STEP 7

To solve this equation, we can multiply the dividend () by the reciprocal of the divisor (2/3).
÷23=×32 \div \frac{2}{3} = \times \frac{3}{2}

STEP 8

Perform the multiplication to find the solution.
8×32=128 \times \frac{3}{2} =12So, there are12 segments of length2/3 in8.
