Explanation:

First Problem: Licorice Rope Division

Step1: Divide total length by 4

$\frac{7}{4}$ inches

Step2: Convert to mixed number

$1\frac{3}{4}$ inches

Step1: Identify total and portions

Total ice cream: 4 pints, Portions: 6 sundaes

Step2: Match to valid expressions

Divide total by portions: $4\div6$ or $\frac{4}{6}$

Step1: Set up division

$\frac{4}{6}$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{4\div2}{6\div2} = \frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

B. $\frac{7}{4}$ inches, D. $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches
