Question

people have asked this question but there were many different answers so can somebody please help me and explain the correct one

Answer 1

Fractions

We want to know how many cups of pecans she use to decorate one pie. Since she uses 3 cups for 12 pies, if we divide 3 by 12 we will obtain the answer:

`(3)/(12)`

We want to simplify the fraction. Since

3 ÷ 3 = 1

12 ÷ 3 = 4

we can simplify it dividing both parts of the fraction by 3:

`(3)/(12)=(3/3)/(12/3)=(1)/(4)`

Answer: D 1/4
