Question

Write a multiplication equation and a division equation that can be used to answer how many 3/4's are in 2

Answer 1

Given:

Two numbers $\dfrac{3}{4}$ and 2.

To find:

How many $\dfrac{3}{4}'s$ are in 2.

Solution:

Let x be number of $\dfrac{3}{4}'s$ in 2.

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times x=2$

Divide both sides by $\dfrac{3}{4}$.

$x=\dfrac{2}{\dfrac{3}{4}}$

$x=2\times \dfrac{4}{3}$

$x=\dfrac{8}{3}$

Therefore, required multiplication equation is $\dfrac{3}{4}\times x=2$ and the required division equation is $x=\dfrac{2}{\dfrac{3}{4}}$.
