Rewrite each problem as a multiplication question. Model your answer.
1. 2/5 divided by 5
2. 3/4 divided by 2
2/5*1/5 and 3/4*1/2.
1. 2/5 * 1/5
You do #2.
To rewrite each problem as a multiplication question, we can use the property that division is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.
1. 2/5 divided by 5 can be rewritten as:
2/5 divided by 5 = 2/5 multiplied by 1/5
To find the answer to this question, we multiply the numerators and denominators:
2/5 * 1/5 = (2 * 1) / (5 * 5) = 2/25
Therefore, the multiplication question that models the original problem is 2/5 multiplied by 1/5, which equals 2/25.
2. 3/4 divided by 2 can be rewritten as:
3/4 divided by 2 = 3/4 multiplied by 1/2
To find the answer to this question, we multiply the numerators and denominators:
3/4 * 1/2 = (3 * 1) / (4 * 2) = 3/8
Therefore, the multiplication question that models the original problem is 3/4 multiplied by 1/2, which equals 3/8.
