Question

Which of the following questions can be solved using the math expression fraction $÷$ whole?

Answer 1

Let’s look at the options one by one.

Option A:
Total number of wooden logs $=4$
Number of pieces one wooden log is cut into $=3$
Number of pieces obtained when four wooden logs are cut into $3$ pieces each $=$ total number of wooden logs $\times$ number of pieces one wooden log is cut into $=4\times 3$
Since we are using the multiplication math expression and not the fraction $÷$ whole math expression, this option is incorrect.

Option B:
Total amount of flour used $=\frac{1}{3}\text{kg}$
Number of cupcakes made $=5$
Amount of flour used for each cupcake $=$ total amount of flour $÷$ number of cupcakes made$=\frac{1}{3}÷5$
Option $B$ is correct since we use the math expression fraction $÷$ whole

Option C:
Length of the rope $=2m$
Length of each piece $=\frac{1}{6}m$
Number of pieces $=$ Length of the rope $÷$ length of each piece $2÷\frac{1}{6}$
Since we are using the math expression whole $÷$ fraction and not the fraction $÷$ whole math expression, this option is incorrect.
