James says the fraction 3/4 had the same value as the expression 4 ÷ 3. Use the drop down menus to state whether you agree or not, and why.

James is correct or incorrect. A fraction can be interpreted as division of the numerator or denominator by the numerator or denominator.​

Answer:

James is Wrong. They are different expressions.

Explanation:

I Disagree with James, - Here's Why...

3/4 means, we are diving 3 into 4 parts which is 0.75

Or 3/4 is written 3 Divided(Divide sign) by 4

But 4 / 3 means we are dividing 4 into 3 parts, Which is approximately 1.333...

So 3 / 4
\\eq 4 / 3

Which is 0.75
\\eq 1.333...
