Question

What is 1/4 divided by 1/2, and create and solve a real-world word problem that uses the above division expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 divided by 1/2 equals 1/2

Real-world problem:

A constructor official knows that he needs 1/2 sack of cement to produce 10 blocks of concrete for a wall. The official only has 1/4 of the sack left and want to know how many blocks he can produce with this material.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that 1/2 of the sack is needed to make 10 blocks, you can use this information to find the number of blocks that 1/4 of a sack can make. The question you want to answer is:  

if $\frac{1}{2}$ of a sack produces 10 blocks, how may blocks $\frac{1}{4}$ of a sack can produce?

Using the Rule of Three you can solve

$\frac{\frac{1}{4} }{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Now you know that 1/4 of a sack can produce 1/2 the number of blocks that 1/2 of the sack can produces, this means that you can produce 5 blocks of concrete.
