The Problem Set Guidance includes many great resources for problems. The focus of this lesson is on students internalizing the concepts from the previous lessons and beginning to develop fluency with solving fraction division problems. Ensure students have ample time to solve a variety of problems and to engage in conversation with each other around solutions. It may be valuable to include any unused problems from previous lessons to reinforce the conceptual understanding. Any problems not used from the Problem Set Guidance in this lesson can be used for review at the end of the unit prior to the Unit Test.
If you need to adapt or shorten this lesson for remote learning, we suggest prioritizing Anchor Problem 2 (benefits from worked example). Find more guidance on adapting our math curriculum for remote learning here.

Problem 1:
Alisa had $${\frac {1}{2}}$$ liter of juice in a bottle. She drank $${{\frac{3}{8}}}$$ liters of juice. What fraction of the juice in the bottle did Alisa drink?
Problem 2:
Alisa had some juice in a bottle. Then she drank $${{\frac{3}{8}}}$$ liters of juice. If this was $${\frac{3}{4}}$$ of the juice that was originally in the bottle, how much juice was there to start?

You are stuck in a big traffic jam on the freeway and you are wondering how long it will take to get to the next exit, which is $${1 \frac {1}{2}}$$ miles away. You are timing your progress and find that you can travel $${\frac{2}{3}}$$ of a mile in one hour. If you continue to make progress at this rate, how long will it be until you reach the exit?
Solve the problem with a diagram and explain your answer. Then find the answer using an equation and show that it is the same as what you got in your diagram.
