Fraction Division: Changing Tempos

Students are asked to match the rhythms, or melodies of two sets of notes playing back at two different tempos. Instead of changing the tempo of the second set of notes, you have to change their durations to match the original set of notes. This is an exercise in dividing to find a solution. In this case, you are dividing the durations of the first set of notes by a given tempo value to convert them to a new set of fractions.
