We used the relationship between multiplication and division to write both multiplication and division equations to represent the same situation.

Example:

There are 2 pounds of beef in the package. Each burger uses pound. How many burgers does the package make? We can write and to represent the situation.

We also learned to write multiplication and division equations to represent the same diagram.

Example:

We can write . The diagram shows 6 groups of and the total value is 2. We can also write . The diagram shows that the number of groups of in 2 is 6.
