Then, briefly explain what the whole number 2, the denominator 3, and the numerator 1 mean in this problem.Math symbols+−×÷(·)[·]=<>≠$°?Part BThe expression 1÷141÷14 is given. Give a real-life application to explain this expression and then simplify it.

Answer 1

Part A

we have that

7 apples divided by 3 is

7/3

convert to mixed number

7/3=6/3+1/3=2+1/3=2 1/3 apples

each people have 2 1/3 apples

The answer is

Then there are 2 1/3 apple by each people

The number 2 1/3 means

each people have 2 whole apples and 1/3 of apple

1/3 of apple means ----> a whole apple divided into 3 parts

Part B

we have the expression

$1\colon\frac{1}{4}$

A real-life application

Suppose you run one mile in 1/4 hours, and you want to know your speed in miles per hours

so

You divide 1 by 1/4

1/(1/4)=4 miles per hour
