Question

Which expression represent a number that is one fourth as great as 10-2

Answer 1

Answer:  The correct option is (B)  (10-2)÷4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to select the correct expression that represents a number that is one fourth as great as 10-2.

Let the required number be represented by x.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x=\dfrac{1}{4}(10-2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10-2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=(10-2)\div4.$

Thus, the required expression is  (10-2)÷4.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Answer 2

I think the answer to the expression would be D. (10 - 2) x 4 because (10 - 2) would be multiplied 4 times, which means it would be four times greater. I hope this made sense and also helped you in some way.
