Your answer is 157, i'm pretty sure
1 can be interpreted as a "whole" thing, and smaller than 1 is a part of a thing.
imagine: if you have some cakes and you count the number of cake pieces, those will be more than the number of cakes: as each cake will have more than one piece! (otherwise it wouldn't be called a piece!)
so the result of a division by a fraction is bigger than the original number, there are more parts than wholes in the results, as each whole has multiple parts!
for example: divide 3 cakes into pieces which are 1/4th of a cake. how many such pieces would there be? 12! more than the 3 original cakes;
is this possible to understand? tell me if not!
Answer:
The first one
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out which one is the best deal, for each one how much <em>one</em> t-shirt costs.
<u>First deal:</u>
3 t-shirts for $28.95
To figure out how much money one t-shirt would cost, you divide $28.95 by 3.
1 t-shirt = 28.95/3 = $9.65.
<u>Second deal:</u>
4 t-shirts for $39
Same thing as the last one, except since there are 4 t-shirts you divide $39 by 4.
1 t-shirt = 39/4 = $9.75
<u>Third deal:</u>
5 t-shirts for $49.95
This time you will divide 49.95 by 5.
1 t-shirt = 49.95/5 = $9.99
The last step is to compare the three deals, and since you are trying to find the one that costs the <em>least</em> you can see that the first deal is the best one, because $9.65 per shirt is cheaper than $9.75 and $9.99
