Answer 1

Answer: The number of quarter inches in 23 inches is 4 × 23 = 92

None of the answers given is correct.

Explanation:

The ÷ sign means divide.

There are 4 quarter inches in each inch, so you have to multiply 23 × 4

Dividing by 14 makes no sense.

23 ÷ 1/4 = 92 is also an equation that makes sense.
