Question

Explain how to compute 2 divide 1/4 using a measurement picture.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, in this case we'll have to compute ($2\div\frac{1}{4}$)

Let's assume a circle with area equals 1, now if it is dissected into 4 equal parts, then each part will be given by $\frac{1}{4}$.

Now, repeating the same process over another circle with similar dimension, we'll get the same result.

Therefore, we'll have 8 such quadrants when we dissect two circles into four parts.

i.e. $2\div\frac{1}{4} = 8$
