Answer 1

A and D are correct. To understand this, you need to know that this scenario gives us a total (2 1/2 cups) and a part (1/4). When you have these 2 pieces of information you have either a division problem with a total divided into parts (choice D) or you have one part and a totol shown as a multiplication problem (choice A).

Answer 2

The answer is

D (2 1/2)/(1/4)

And 10

Oranges are needed to make 2 1/2 cups of juice

Explanation:

From the given expression

We can solve the problem

If we state it out Mathematically

Step one

1 orange will give 1/4 cup of juice

x orange will give 2 1/2 cups of juice

Step two

By cross multiplication we have

x=( 2 1/2)/(1/4)

Let's convert the mixed fraction

2 1/2

to proper fraction we have 5/2

x=( 5/2)/(1/4)

x=5/2*4/1

x=20/2

x=10
