Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
3 ft long when divided into half ft each will be
3ft ÷1/2 ft
We change the ÷ to × then the second part is reciprocated hence
3ft÷1/2= 3ft×2/1=6 pieces
(b)
The question requires us to get the differences. Initially, Phil makes 3 quarts of soup but the family takes only half of the original quantity to mean Phil remains with the other half.
Therefore, half of 3 is 3×1/2=3/2= 1.5 or 1 1/2
(c)
Hiding 3 pounds of gold into two equal sections means 3 is divided by 2
3÷2=1.5 or 1 1/2
(d)
If half, 0.5 represent 3 cups then full quantity represent x
0.5=3 cups
1=x
By cross multiplication
1*3/0.5=6
