Question

How many 3 4 teaspoons of salt are in 1 3 of a teaspoon of salt? A) 1 3 B) 1 4 C) 1 6 D) 4 9

Answer 1

namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 1/3?

well, is just their quotient, so let's divide them
`\bf \cfrac{\quad (1)/(3)\quad }{(3)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{4}{3}\implies \cfrac{4}{9}`
