Write and solve a real- world problem that can be solved using the expression 3/4 divided by 1/6?
We have 3/4 of a cake left. Six hungry kids come along and devour it. What fraction of the cake does each kids get?
2 and 1/2
man wth is this i am an austictic turdle idk what this is
Sure! Here's a real-world problem that can be solved using the expression 3/4 divided by 1/6:
Let's say you have a recipe that requires 3/4 cup of sugar, but the measuring cup you have available only measures in increments of 1/6 cup. You want to know how many increments of 1/6 cup of sugar you need to measure out in order to get 3/4 cup.
To solve this problem, you can use the expression 3/4 divided by 1/6.
To get the answer using this expression, you can follow these steps:
1. Invert the divisor (the second fraction) and multiply: 3/4 * 6/1.
- In this case, 1/6 becomes 6/1.
2. Multiply the numerators (the tops) of the fractions: 3 * 6 = 18.
3. Multiply the denominators (the bottoms) of the fractions: 4 * 1 = 4.
4. Simplify the fraction if possible: 18/4 = 9/2.
Therefore, to measure out 3/4 cup of sugar using a measuring cup that increments by 1/6 cup, you would need to measure out 9/2 increments of 1/6 cup.
Simplifying further, 9/2 is equivalent to 4 1/2 increments of 1/6 cup.
So, you would need to measure out 4 1/2 increments of 1/6 cup of sugar for the recipe.
