Question

Help please Iekika is 3/2m tall, which is 4/5 as tall as Shanika. What does 3/2 divided by 4/5 represent in this situation?

Choose 1 answer:
(A) Shanika's height
(B) 4/5 of lekika's height
(C) lekika's height
(D) 3/2 of Shanika's height

Answer 1

(A) Shanika's height

Explanation:

In this situation, the fact that Lekika is
`\tt{(3)/(2)m}` tall and this is
`\tt{(4)/(5)}` as tall as Shanika is important.

If we divide Iekika's height (
`\tt{(3)/(2)m}`) by
`\tt{(4)/(5)}`, we're essentially finding out what quantity
`\tt{(3)/(2)m}` represents
`\tt{(4)/(5)}` of. This would give us Shanika's height.

So, in this context,
`\tt{(3)/(2)m}` divided by
`\tt{(4)/(5)}` represents:

(A) Shanika's height
