Which question is best modeled with a division expression? How much does it cost to buy 3 and one-half pounds of apples at $2 per pound? How many apples are needed for 2 pies if the recipe uses 3 and one-half apples per pie? How many more apples are needed if a recipe uses 3 and one-half apples and you only have 2 apples? How many apples are in each pie if a total of 3 and one-half apples were used to bake 2 pies?

Answer:

How many apples are in each pie if a total of 3 and one-half apples were used to bake 2 pies?

Explanation:

Use process of Elimination: How do you solve each of these questions and which one uses division?

1. How much does it cost to buy 3 and one-half pounds of apples at $2 per pound? = 3.5 x 2 = $7

2. How many apples are needed for 2 pies if the recipe uses 3 and one-half apples per pie? = 2 x 3.5 = 7 apples

3. How many more apples are needed if a recipe uses 3 and one-half apples and you only have 2 apples? = 3.5 - 2 = 1.5 apples

4. How many apples are in each pie if a total of 3 and one-half apples were used to bake 2 pies? = 3.5 divided by 2 =1.75 apples.

Note: Questions 1 and 2 used multiplication, Question 3 used subtraction and it was only question 4 that needed any division at all.

Hope this Helps,

Good Luck
