Question

What is the answer

Move the correct number to the first box to show the answer. Then, move numbers to the other boxes to explain the answer.

Answer 1

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

Because:

`(1)/(4) * 3 = (1)/(4) +(1)/(4) + (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given

`(1)/(4) * 3 = [\ ]`

Because

`(1)/(4) * 3 = [\ ] + [\ ] + [\ ]`

Required

Fill in the box

`(1)/(4) * 3 = [\ ]`

This can be written as:

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

Solve the numerator

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

(b) Because

`(1)/(4) * 3 = [\ ] + [\ ] + [\ ]`

The above implies that

`(1)/(4)` be added in 3 places

i.e.

`(1)/(4) * 3 = (1)/(4) +(1)/(4) + (1)/(4)`
