Question

1.) Write a word problem that can be described by the division expression 3 divided by 1/4.

2.) Solve your word problem using a model. Use complete sentences to describe your model, and interpret the quotient in the context of your word problem. If you wish, you may upload a copy of your model.

3.) Use multiplication to check your answer in question #2. Show or explain all of your work.

Answer 1

The word problem can be:

"let's say that you have $3, and there is an item that costs $(1/4), how many of these items can you buy?"

And the solution is N = 12.

How to write the word problem?

We want a problem that can be described by 3 divided by 1/4.

So, let's say that you have $3, and there is an item that costs $(1/4), how many of these items can you buy?

The solution to that question is given by:

$N = \frac{3}{1/4}$

2) To solve this, we can use a really simple model.

In one unit, we have 4 fourts.

Then in 3 units, we have 3*4 = 12 fourts.

Then the answer is 12.

3) How to use multiplication?

Remember that dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by the inverse of said fraction, then:

$N = \frac{3}{1/4} = 3*(4/1) = 12$

We got the same thing as above.
