Q. Sean used three fourth cup of sugar to make a dozen brownies. How much sugar is in each brownie? ((three is numerator and fourth is demonator)) Choose Between Division, subtraction, mulipcation, or addition.
Answer: Addition.
9 cups of sugar in each brownie??? How can that be?
THINK!
12 + 3/4 = 12 3/4
Hmmm -- That doesn't seem right.
Please try again.
Would It Be Multiplication?
3/4 * 12
12/1 * 3/4
36/4 = 9
she mixed this 3/4 cup of sugar up with some other ingredients in a big mixing bowl.
Then she baked and divided the bowl contents up into 12 brownies
I agree with ms.sue
But can it be both or one never know sorry going though math problems with my daughter
It's division the problem is separate ing sugar into a dozen brownies key word (how much)

Actually, the correct operation to find out how much sugar is in each brownie is division, not addition.
To divide three fourths of a cup of sugar among a dozen brownies, you need to divide the numerator (three) by the denominator (four), and then divide the result by twelve.
Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
Step 2: Divide the result by twelve: 0.75 ÷ 12 = 0.0625
Therefore, each brownie contains approximately 0.0625 cups (or 1/16 of a cup) of sugar.
(3/4) / 12
= 3/(4*12)
= 1/(4*4)
= 1/16
