Question

40 to boil the bonsha, jack needs 4\frac{1}{2} cups of water. he measures the correct amount of water using a glass that holds \frac{3}{4} cup.
a) show how many times jack needs to fill the glass to get 4\frac{1}{2} cups of water.
there is a number line and some rectangles in the original image
b) complete the division equation. how many times does jack need to fill the glass?
4\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{4} = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$

Step2: Divide by fraction (multiply by reciprocal)

$\frac{9}{2} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}$

Step3: Simplify and calculate

$\frac{9 \times 4}{2 \times 3} = \frac{36}{6} = 6$

Answer:

6
