Good Afternoon/ morning / night!

If Olaf needs 3 cups of Sugar to make 4 cakes and we want to find out how much sugar he uses for each cake we could ask him. Just kidding we actually want to use division. so we want write the equation as 3รท4 which would equal 0.75 or 3/4 (notice how the dividend is the numerator and the divisor is the denominator?) So your answer would be A because the dot on the number line is between 0.5 and 1 which would be 0.75.

I just did the quiz #edge2021
