Question

3 divided by 1/4 and 4 divided by 3/4 please help

Answer 1

12

16/3

Explanation:

When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal.

This can be remembered easily using the mnemonic "keep, change, flip" where you keep the first fraction (in this case, 3/1), change the sign of the operator (from division to multiplication) and flip the second fraction (in this case 1/4 into 4/1). Thus 3 / 1/4 = 3/1 x 4/1 = 12/1 = 12

Answer 2

See explanation below

Explanation:

3 divided by 1/4 equals 12

Flip 1/4 to get 4, then multiply that by 3 to get 12.

4 divided by 3/4 = 16/3

Flip 3/4 to get 4/3, then multiply that by 4 to get 16/3
