Question

Duncan has cups of sand. He divides the sand equally into 4 containers. He uses all the sand in 1 container to make pieces of sand art. It takes cups of sand to complete each piece of sand art. How many pieces of sand art does Duncan make? A. 1 2/3 B. 2 C. 4 D. 5 5/9

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

From the above question:

1/4 cup of sand = 1 sand art

1 cup of sand = x

Cross Multiply

x × 1/4 cup of sand = 1 cup of sand × 1 sand art

x = 1 cup of sand × 1 sand art/1/4 cup of sand

x = 1 ÷ 1/4

x = 1 × 4

x = 4 pieces sand art

Therefore, Duncan can make 4 pieces of sand art.
