Would you multiply or divide for this question, "Vicky got 9 3/8 pounds of pecans from her tree this year. Last year she only got 6 1/4 pounds. How many times more pounds did she get this year than last year?" ?

  • You would have to divide since you are trying to find "times more pounds", so you'll do the inverse operation which is division.
