Final answer:

Teddy completed 4/3 or 1.33 math problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many math problems Teddy completed, we need to use the ratio between the number of problems completed by Sanika and Teddy. According to the information given, for every 3 math problems Sanika completed, Teddy completed 4 problems. If Sanika completed 1 problem today, we can set up a proportion using these ratios:



  1. Sanika: Teddy = 3:4
  2. Sanika: 1 = 3: x (where x represents the number of problems Teddy completed)



To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:

3x = 4 * 1

3x = 4

x = 4/3



Therefore, Teddy completed 4/3 or 1.33 math problems.
