Field Day Relays: Sharing the Distance

Divide unit fractions by whole numbers to find each runner's share.

Split the relay

The park loop trail is 1 mile around. Each team runs part of the loop, and the runners on a team share that part equally. Write each answer as a fraction.

Team Comet runs 1/2 of the loop. Its 4 runners each run an equal part. The circle shows the whole 1-mile loop cut into eighths. One runner's part is shaded.

1/2 ÷ 4 = mile

Team Rocket runs 1/3 of the loop. Its 5 runners share the distance equally. Write the division equation that finds one runner's distance.

÷ = mile

Team Flash runs 1/4 of the loop. Its 2 runners share it equally. Each circle is the whole loop. Which circle shows one runner's part of the whole loop?
