Question

You have a frame that holds 8 pictures.you fill 1/4 of the frame.how many pictures do you put in the frame?explained

Answer 1

2 pictures.

1) Considering that a frame is rectangular as well as each picture. We're dealing with the area of a rectangle and proportionality.

2) If I fill 1/4 and the whole frame holds 8, then I can state that:

`8*(1)/(4)=2`

Therefore I put into the frame 2 pictures because 2 pictures are equivalent to 1/4 of the area of that frame.
