Emilio and Julia used different ways to find \(\frac{1}{2}\div4\). Emilio used a model to find the quotient. Julia used a related multiplication equation to find the quotient. Whose answer makes sense? Whose answer is nonsense? Explain your reasoning.
Emilio’s Work
Julia’s Work
\(\cfrac{1}{2}\div4\)
If \(\frac{1}{2}\div4=\blacksquare\), then \(\blacksquare\times4=\frac{1}{2}\)
I know that \(\frac{1}{8}\div4=\frac{1}{2}\)
So, \(\frac{1}{2}\div4=\frac{1}{8}\) because \(\frac{1}{8}\times4=\frac{1}{2}\)
