Question

The large rectangle shown represents one whole . Which division expression does the purple shaded area in the model represent

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is $(d)~\dfrac{1}{3}\div 4.$

Step-by-step explanation:  Given in the question and the figure a large rectangle consisting of 12 squares of equal areas. We need to choose the right expression for the purple shaded area.

Considering the rectangle in the figure horizontally, there are 4 rows of 3 squares. So, in the last row, the fraction of  purple shaded square is

$r_p=\dfrac{1}{3}.$

And if consider the figure vertically, then there are 3 columns of 4 squares.

Therefore, the final fraction represented by the purple shaded area is

$f_p=\dfrac{1}{3}\div4.$

Thus, the correct option is  $(d)~\dfrac{1}{3}\div 4.$

Answer 2

Answer:1/3÷4
