Question

Create a word problem that can be represented by the expression in number 4. –6 ÷ 1 1/3 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

I suppose that we want to use the expression in number 4.

The expression we need to use is:

6/(1 + 1/3)

This is:

"the quotient between the number 6 and the number 1 and 1/3"

We could write a problem like:

"We have 1 and 1/3 pounds of apples, and we have 6 grams of caramel that we want to divide evenly between all the apples. How much caramel we will have in each pound of apples?"

Then we need to divide the total amount of caramel by the total amount of apples, this is:

(6gr)/(1 + 1/3 lb) = (6/(3/3 + 1/3  )) gr/lb = (6/ 4/3) gr/lb = 6*(3/4) gr/lb

= 18/4 gr/lb =  (16 + 2)/4 gt/lb = 16/4 gr/lb + 2/4gr/lb = 4 gr/lb + 1/2 gr/lb

= (4 and 1/2) gr/lb
