Answer:
A. 48
B. 24
C. C
Step-by-step explanation:
To divide up whole numbers by fractions, you simply need to just multiply the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction. in other words, flip the fraction.
Ex.
12 ÷ 1/4
=
12 x 4
Ex. 2
12 ÷ 1/2
=
12 x 2
Surprise! It turns out that the answer is 1.
Why?!!??!
Notice this pattern when working with powers of 2:
2^0 2^1 2^2 2^3 2^4
? 2 4 8 16
Every time we increase the power we multiply by 2. Or reading the pattern backwards, every time we decrease the power we divide by 2. What is 2 divided by 2? It is 1! So 2^0 = 1 to finish the pattern:
2^0 2^1 2^2 2^3 2^4
1 2 4 8 16
Try it with 3 or with 5 or with any number! You'll see that the pattern holds!
