Question

Write a multiplication equation and a division equation that can be used to answer how many 3/4's are in 2

Answer 1

Given:

Two numbers
`(3)/(4)` and 2.

To find:

How many
`(3)/(4)'s` are in 2.

Solution:

Let x be number of
`(3)/(4)'s` in 2.

`(3)/(4)* x=2`

Divide both sides by
`(3)/(4)`.

`x=(2)/((3)/(4))`

`x=2* (4)/(3)`

`x=(8)/(3)`

Therefore, required multiplication equation is
`(3)/(4)* x=2` and the required division equation is
`x=(2)/((3)/(4))`.
