Answer:
Three-fourths divided by one-eighth = 6 (D)
Explanation:
For the first layer, Total = 1
Second layer:
1 is divided into 4 places = 1/4
So we have 1/4 in 4 places
The total of the second layer = 1/4×4 = 1
Third layer:
Each 1/4 is divided into 2 = 1/4÷2
= 1/4× 1/2 = 1/8
1/4 in 4 places = 1/8 in 2(4) places
= 1/8 in 8 places
Total of third layer = 1/8×8 = 1
Find attached the diagram derived from the above used in solving the question.
We are to find the fraction bars that represent the equation.
For those circled: 6 of the 1/8 in the third layer are under 3 of the 1/4 in the second layer.
Since under those circled, there are 6 boxes with 1/8, the fraction bar that would represent the equation would be equal to 6 in the left and right hand side of the equation.
The fraction bars that represent the equation = 3(1/4) ÷ 1/8
= 3/4 × 8/1 = 6
Therefore, Three-fourths divided by one-eighth = 6 (D)
