Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{900}{1} \\ \\ = \frac{1 \times 900}{4 \times 1} \\ \\ = \frac{900}{4} \\ \\ = \frac{9 \times \cancel {100} }{\cancel4} \\ \\ = 9 \times 25 \\ \\ = 225$

Answer 2

Answer:

four of 225 makes 900/1, or 900. So, one 225 should be one of the four 225s that equal 900. 1/4 × 1/900, or 1/4 of 900, should be 225.
