Kevin has 3 cakes for his birthday, and he will give 1/4 of cake to each of his friends. The question is: How many friends can Kevin give cake to with the 3 cakes he has?
And then the answer can be found by dividing 3 by 1/4:
÷
if he gives 1/4 of cake to each friends, the 3 cakes are enough for 12 friends.
The question is simply asking us to create a word problem. The word problem describing the division expression 3÷1/4 will be: Given that Annie has 3 oranges and he wants to each orange into quarters, how many quarters will Annie have in total?
