dont simplify
If you don't simplify and leave it as 6/12, it is still equivalent to 1/2 but not in the simplest form (lowest terms).

1/3 x 3/4
(Hint: You will need to simplify you answer)
3/5
1/4
1/3
1 1/12 (1 and 1/12)
The solution is:
1/3 x 3/4 = (1 x 3) / (3 x 4) = 3/12 = 1/4
Therefore, the answer is 1/4 which is already in the simplest form.

2/3 x 1/4=
(Hint: You will need to simplify you answer)
3/7
1/6
3/8
3/8
The solution is:
2/3 x 1/4 = (2 x 1) / (3 x 4) = 2/12 = 1/6
Therefore, the answer is 1/6 which is already in the simplest form.
So, the correct answer is 1/6 and not 3/8.

16
4
12
The solution is:
1/4 x 16 = (1 x 16) / 4 = 16/4 = 4
Therefore, the answer is 4.

12
18
The solution is:
3 ÷ 1/4 = 3 x 4/1 = 12
Therefore, the answer is 12.

1/5 ÷ 4
(HINT: Keep Change Flip)
1/9
1/20
20
9
The solution is:
1/5 ÷ 4 = 1/5 x 1/4 = 1/20
Therefore, the answer is 1/20.
7.
1/2 ÷ 6
(HINT: Keep Change Flip)
1/18
1/14
1/16
1/12
The solution is:
1/2 ÷ 6 = 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12
Therefore, the answer is 1/12.
8.
9 ÷ 1/3
(HINT: Keep Change Flip)
27
9
9/27
18
The solution is:
9 ÷ 1/3 = 9 x 3/1 = 27
Therefore, the answer is 27.

Jill collected a total of 4 gallons of honey. If she divided all of the honey equally between 10 jars, how much honey will be in each jar?
40 Gallons
4/10 Gallons
4 Gallons
10/4 Gallons
The solution is:
If Jill collected 4 gallons of honey and wants to divide it equally between 10 jars, then each jar will have:
4 gallons / 10 jars = 0.4 gallons/jar
Therefore, the answer is 0.4 gallons/jar or 4/10 gallons/jar which are equivalent.

Amanda has five pounds of raisins to divide equally into 1/4 lb bags. How many bags can she fill?
9 bags
12 bags
20 bags
14 bags
The solution is:
If Amanda has 5 pounds of raisins and wants to divide them equally into 1/4 lb bags, then the number of bags she can fill will be:
5 lbs / 1/4 lb per bag = 5 x 4 = 20 bags.
Therefore, the answer is 20 bags.
