Question

A number sentence is shown below: 32 and 1 over 4Division sign1 over 8 equals 258

Answer 1

Part A.

32'1/4÷1/8=258

1 team has 8 people, we currently have 32'1/4 teams, so how many people do we have? We have 258 people.

you can adjust this any way you want. you can say. if we have 258 people, we can make 32'1/4 teams of 8 people. and so on...

Part B.

32'1/4(teams)×8(people per team)=258 people

Part C.

you can explain this from what I said in Part A and Part B.

but 32'1/4 is 1/8 of 258

Answer 2

Answer:

Given number sentence,

$32\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{1}{8}=258$

Part A :

There are $32\frac{1}{4}$ liter of milk by which some glasses of equal size have to be filled if each glass contains $\frac{1}{8}$ liter of milk, how many glass are there ?

Solution : Total milk = $32\frac{1}{4}$ liters,

Milk in each glass = $\frac{1}{8}$ liter,

Thus, the total possible glass = $\frac{\text{Total milk}}{\text{Milk in each glass}}$

$=32\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{1}{8}=258$

Part B :

Since,

$a\div b = \frac{a}{b}=a\times \frac{1}{b}$

Thus,

$32\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{1}{8}=32\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{8}{1}=258$

Part C :

After dividing $32\frac{1}{4}$ by $\frac{1}{8}$ we get 258.
