Question

Mrs. Reid wrote the following problem on the whiteboard: Tom and Michele shared 1/4 pound of grapes equally. What fractional part of a pound did each person receive? Christina wrote the following equation to solve the problem: 2 ÷1/4 = n. Do you agree with Christina’s equation? Support your answer with a brief explanation.

Answer 1

Yes, I do.

You need to divide the number of people, by the number of grapes to get the total amount of grapes each person gets.
