Question

What is ⅓ divided by ¼? Use the model if needed. Answer should be in simplest form. Explain your answer

Answer 1

The answer to the expression in simplest form is:

`((1)/(3))/((1)/(4))=(4)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given the function

`((1)/(3))/((1)/(4))`

solving to get the simplest form

`\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad ((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a\cdot \:d)/(b\cdot \:c)`

`((1)/(3))/((1)/(4))=(1\cdot \:4)/(3\cdot \:1)`

`\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:a\cdot 1=a`

`=(4)/(3)`

Thus, the answer to the expression in simplest form is:

`((1)/(3))/((1)/(4))=(4)/(3)`
