Question

Daniel has 12 eggs. He used 1/4 to make breakfast. How many eggs did he use?

Answer 1

If he used 1/4 of the 12 eggs then he used 3 eggs to make breakfast

Answer 2

He used 3 eggs to make breakfast since 12 times 1/4 or 12 divided by 4 is equal to 3
Another way to think about it: 12/1 x 1/4 then cross multiply, you would get 12/4 which is actually division so the answer is 3.
