to figure out what 0.6 or 6/10 divided by two is.

And I'll give you a little bit of a hint.

We have 6/10 plotted on the number line right over here.

And so one way to think about it is,

if I wanted to go from zero to 6/10 in two jumps,

how big would each of those jumps have to be?

Pause this video and try to figure that out on your own

before we work through it together.

All right, so as I mentioned,

one way to think about it is

how can I go from zero to 6/10 in two jumps?

Two equal jumps, I should say.

Well, if we just eyeball it right over here,

I could do one jump like that

and then another jump like that.

So I did one jump and then two jumps.

And so one way to think about it is

we've divided 6/10 into two jumps,

and each of those jumps are how far?

Well, each of those jumps are one, two, 3/10.

So this is 3/10 or I could write it like this, 3/10.

We have another one, two, 3/10.

So this is going to be equal to 3/10.

And we've thought about it in other ways.

If you have six of something and you divide it by two,

you're going to have two groups of three of that something.

So if you have 6/10, and you wanna

put it into two equal groups, well,

each of those groups are going to be 3/10.
