An Egg-cellent Idea

Model each division exercise shown below using the bottom half of an egg carton. Assume that the first fraction in each exercise tells what portion of an egg carton to use. Cut out this number of sections. Assume that the second number tells the portion of one whole set made up by the sections you cut out. The solution to each exercise is the portion of the whole egg carton that you put in each whole set. Check your work by multiplying.
