Question

What is ⅓ divided by ¼? Use the model if needed. Answer should be in simplest form. Explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to the expression in simplest form is:

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}$

solving to get the simplest form

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a\cdot \:d}{b\cdot \:c}$

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1\cdot \:4}{3\cdot \:1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:a\cdot 1=a$

$=\frac{4}{3}$

Thus, the answer to the expression in simplest form is:

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{4}{3}$
