• B. Both statement B and C

• D. Only Statement A

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both statement A and C

$\text{Given expression}=\frac{3}{4}÷8$

$StatementA:$
$\text{Amount of candies}=\frac{3}{4}\text{kg}$
$\text{Number of friends}=8$


$=\frac{3}{4}÷8$

$StatementB:$
$\text{Amount of juice}=8\text{L}$
$\text{Maximum capacity of each bottle}=\frac{3}{4}\text{L}$


$=8÷\frac{3}{4}$

$StatementC:$
$\text{Amount of icing}=3\text{kg}$
$\text{Weight of the cake}=4\text{kg}$
$\text{Amount of icing on 1 kg of cake}=3÷4=\frac{3}{4}$
$\text{Number of people sharing 1 kg of cake}=8$


$=\frac{3}{4}÷8$

$\therefore \text{Both the statements A and C match}$ $\text{the given expression.}$
