Question

julie has 3/4 quart of fruit juice. she pours the same amount into each of the 4 glasses. which equation represents the fraction of a quart of fruit juice n that is in each of the glasses?

Answer 1

Well, the obvious equation would be $\frac{3}{4}$/4=n.

Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

n: Total amount of juice that each glass has.

We now write the equation that models the problem.

We know the total amount of juice we have.

In addition, we know the number of glasses.

Therefore, the equation that models the problem is:

$4n =\frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

An equation that represents the fraction of a quart of fruit juice n that is in each of the glasses is:

$4n =\frac{3}{4}$
