Okay so the problem starts you off with the fraction (1/4). Sharing equally among 3 people would mean that you'd want to divide it by three so your equation would initially look like (1/4) / 3. Having two dividing signs is confusing so what you do is change the dividing into multiplying by the reciprocal of 3 = 1/3... This would make your expression (1/4) * (1/3) and when you simplify this you should get 1/12 as the answer.
Answer:
The sides are doubled each if the area is quadrupled.
Step-by-step explanation: the area of a square is (s)squared. If the side is doubled, then say the side is 5. the original area would be 25. but is the side is doubled, then the side is 10. 10 squared is 100, 4 times 25.
