Question

1. describe a real-world situation where you would need to divide a fraction by another fraction. write a word problem and solve it.

Explanation:

Step1: Create real-world word problem

Situation: Baking. You have $\frac{3}{4}$ of a cup of chocolate chips. Each cookie requires $\frac{1}{8}$ of a cup of chocolate chips. How many full cookies can you make?

Step2: Set up division expression

To find the number of cookies, divide total chips by chips per cookie:
$\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8}$

Step3: Rewrite as multiplication by reciprocal

Dividing by a fraction equals multiplying by its reciprocal:
$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1}$

Step4: Calculate the product

Multiply numerators and denominators:
$\frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 1} = \frac{24}{4} = 6$

Answer:

Word Problem: You have $\frac{3}{4}$ of a cup of chocolate chips. Each cookie requires $\frac{1}{8}$ of a cup of chocolate chips. How many full cookies can you make?
Final Result: 6 full cookies
