Question

How many 3/4s are in 2? Write a multiplication AND a division equation to represent the situation.

Answer 1

To find out how many 3/4s are in 2, you can set up a division equation and multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. The answer is 8/3 or 2 and 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many 3/4s are in 2, we can set up a division equation.

The equation would be: 2 ÷ 3/4.

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal.

So, 2 ÷ 3/4 can be rewritten as 2 × 4/3.

Multiplying these fractions gives us 8/3.

Therefore, there are 8/3 (or 2 and 2/3) 3/4s in 2.

Answer 2

Well we have 2/(3/4)= 8/3
If you want to check if you’re right or not, just say that how many 3/4s you need to give you 2. You need 1/4+ 3/4 to give you 1, so you have to add 4/4 to give you 2. You need to have 8/4 to give you2, but the question says how many 3/4 we have in 2. So in general you have 8/3 of 3/4s to give you 2.
8/3 * 3/4= 2
Sorry if it makes you confused.
