Question

can someone explain how 1/4 × 900/1 is equal to 225, my mom is asking for an explanation and I used a calculator help me ​

Answer 1

four of 225 makes 900/1, or 900. So, one 225 should be one of the four 225s that equal 900. 1/4 × 1/900, or 1/4 of 900, should be 225.

Answer 2

See below

Explanation:

`(1)/(4) * (900)/(1) \\ \\ = (1 * 900)/(4 * 1) \\ \\ = (900)/(4) \\ \\ = \frac{9 * \cancel {100} }{\cancel4} \\ \\ = 9 * 25 \\ \\ = 225`
