Answer 1

Which story problem could be solve using the given equations.
B & C.

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'C' and 'B' are correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

`(1)/(4)* (3)/(5)`

In Option 'C' ,

Length of a poster is given by

`(1)/(4)`

Width of a poster is given by

`(3)/(5)`

So, Area of poster is given by

`Length* breadth\\\\=(1)/(4)* (3)/(5)`

In option 'B', part of dolls are within the original box is given by

`(3)/(5)`

Part of dolls who has charity is given by

`(1)/(4)`

Total dolls she donate is given by

`(1)/(4)* (3)/(5)`

On the other hand, In option 'A' has "Division operation" and option 'D' has "Subtraction operation".

Hence, Option 'C' and 'B' are correct.
