Answer:
<u>B. 3 ÷ 1/4 = 12 </u>
<u>This is the correct division problem because the result is 12 and we're calculating how many fourths are in 3 wholes.
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Number of circles = 3
Number of divisions of every circle = 4
2. Which of the following division problems describes Melinda's work?
A. 4 ÷ 3 = 4/3
It's incorrect because the total number of fourths in 3 circles is 12.
<u>B. 3 ÷ 1/4 = 12 </u>
<u>This is the correct division problem because the result is 12 and we're calculating how many fourths are in 3 wholes.
</u>
C. 4 ÷ 1/3 = 12
It's incorrect because the question is to determine how many fourths are in 3 wholes, not how many thirds are in 4 wholes.
D. 3 ÷ 4 = 3/4
It's incorrect because the total number of fourths in 3 circles is 12.
Solve for b by cross multiplying.
exact form:
b = 9/2
decimal form:
b = 4.5
mixed number form:
b = 4 and 1/2
