Question

Rewrite this number sentence 50 1/2 divided by 1/4 using multiplication

Answer 1

The answer is 8 for part A

Explanation:

5 1/3 divided by 2/3 is 8 because you turn it in to an improper fraction and it turns into 16/3 divided by 2/3 then you take the reciprocal of the second number and make it multiplication so 16/3 times 2/3 is 48/6. But your not done you have to simplify that into 8 so 8 is your answer.

Answer 2

This division question is asking how many 1/4 you can fit into 50 1/2.

We can fit 4 of them into 1 whole (4 x 1/4 = 1)
We can fit 8 of them into 2 wholes (8 x 1/4 = 2)

and so on.

But we have 50 1/2 wholes, so we would need 50 1/2 x 4.

The new number sentence is 50 1/2 x 4.
