Answer: $\frac{4}{7} = 4 \times \left(\frac{1}{7}\right)$. Shows that $\frac{4}{7}$ equals 4 copies of the unit fraction $\frac{1}{7}$.

Flashcard 5: Identify the missing number: $\frac{7}{12} = 7 \times \left(\frac{1}{\square}\right)$.

Answer: $12$. The denominator of the unit fraction matches the original denominator.

Flashcard 6: Find and correct the error: $\frac{6}{7} = 7 \times \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)$.

Answer: $\frac{6}{7} = 6 \times \left(\frac{1}{7}\right)$. The numerator and denominator were swapped in the incorrect equation.

Flashcard 7: What fraction equals $6 \times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)$?

Answer: $\frac{6}{5}$. Multiplying 6 copies of $\frac{1}{5}$ gives numerator 6 and denominator 5.

Flashcard 8: Find and correct the error: $\frac{5}{9} = 5 \times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)$.

Answer: $\frac{5}{9} = 5 \times \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)$. The unit fraction must have denominator 9 to match the original fraction.

Flashcard 9: What does $4 \times \left(\frac{1}{6}\right)$ mean in words?

Answer: Four copies of $\frac{1}{6}$. Multiplication means taking 4 equal parts, each worth $\frac{1}{6}$.

Flashcard 10: What equation rewrites $\frac{9}{10}$ as a multiple of a unit fraction?

Answer: $\frac{9}{10} = 9 \times \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)$. Shows that $\frac{9}{10}$ equals 9 copies of the unit fraction $\frac{1}{10}$.

Flashcard 11: What equation rewrites $\frac{7}{3}$ as a multiple of a unit fraction?

Answer: $\frac{7}{3} = 7 \times \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$. Shows that $\frac{7}{3}$ equals 7 copies of the unit fraction $\frac{1}{3}$.

Flashcard 12: What equation rewrites $\frac{5}{4}$ as a multiple of a unit fraction?

Answer: $\frac{5}{4} = 5 \times \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$. Shows that $\frac{5}{4}$ equals 5 copies of the unit fraction $\frac{1}{4}$.

Flashcard 13: What does the denominator $b$ tell you in the unit fraction $\frac{1}{b}$?

Answer: The whole is split into $b$ equal parts. The denominator shows how many equal pieces make one whole.

Flashcard 14: What does the numerator $a$ mean in $\frac{a}{b} = a \times \left(\frac{1}{b}\right)$?

Answer: $a$ copies of $\frac{1}{b}$. The numerator tells how many unit fractions to multiply together.

Flashcard 15: What is the unit fraction in the expression $\frac{a}{b} = a \times \left(\frac{1}{b}\right)$?

Answer: $\frac{1}{b}$. The unit fraction has numerator 1 and the same denominator as the original fraction.

Flashcard 16: What fraction equals $3 \times \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$?

Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$. Multiplying 3 copies of $\frac{1}{4}$ gives numerator 3 and denominator 4.
