Question

kate is lining up logs across a pool for a boom run. the logs are $\frac{2}{3}$ meter long. the distance across the pool is 5 meters. she wants to know how many logs she needs.
which division expression represents the number of logs kate needs to cross the pool?
$5 div \frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{2}{3} div 5$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and unit length

Total pool distance: $5$ m, log length: $\frac{2}{3}$ m

Step2: Calculate number of logs

Number of logs = $\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Length per log}} = 5 \div \frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

$5 \div \frac{2}{3}$
