Fractions represent parts of a whole, but they also perfectly show division. When you see a fraction like $\frac{3}{4}$, it means you're dividing 3 by 4. Understanding this connection makes working with fractions much easier! This worksheet will give you practice in seeing fractions as division problems and solving them.
For example, if you have 5 cookies and want to share them equally among 2 friends, you can represent this as the fraction $\frac{5}{2}$, which means 5 divided by 2. Each friend gets 2.5 cookies!
