Because , 48 times 1 fourth equals 12, , 12 divided by , 1 fourth, is 48. Because 24×14=12, 12 divided by 14 is 24.

Answer 1

Based on the available information, the true statement about determining the quotient 12 ÷ 14 is: "Because 3 times 14 equals 42, 12 divided by 14 is 3."

To better have the understanding of the statement, note that

- The correct quotient is obtained by dividing 12 by 14, which results in approximately 0.857.

- The statement "Because 3 times 14 equals 42, 12 divided by 14 is 3" is incorrect; it provides the product of 3 and 14 instead of the quotient. The correct quotient is approximately 0.857, not 3.

Hence, the correct answer is option C. Because 3×14=12, 12 divided by 14 is 3
