Question

Problem Solving: Fraction Division For exercises 1 and 2, write three problem situations for each division 56÷1/3 and 6/1/2÷1/2/3

Answer 1

56÷1/3

We have to model a problem where the solution is 56÷1/3.

So, we take something that is 56 and we have to divide it by 1/3rd.

So, we can say:

George had 56 large cakes.

Giving 1/3rd of each cake to each person is enough.

If George used all of the cake, how many person could he feed?
