Response
Problem 1

Step1: Understand the rate

Emma drinks $\frac{1}{4}$ of a milkshake in $\frac{1}{12}$ minute. To find the time for a full milkshake, we need to find how many times $\frac{1}{4}$ fits into 1 (the full milkshake) and multiply by the time taken for $\frac{1}{4}$. The number of $\frac{1}{4}$ parts in 1 is $1\div\frac{1}{4} = 4$.

Step2: Calculate total time

Multiply the number of parts (4) by the time per part ($\frac{1}{12}$ minute). Wait, no, actually, the rate is (fraction of milkshake) per (time). So time per full milkshake is (time) $\div$ (fraction of milkshake). So $\frac{1}{12}\div\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{12}\times4=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$.

Step1: Determine the rate relationship

Sophia uses $\frac{1}{3}$ ounce for $\frac{1}{12}$ pound of dough. To find ounces per pound, we divide the ounces by the fraction of a pound. So $\frac{1}{3}\div\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\times12 = 4$.

Step1: Analyze the rate

Addison plays $\frac{1}{2}$ of a song in $\frac{1}{8}$ minute. Time for full song is $\frac{1}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}\times2=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$? Wait, no, wait: if $\frac{1}{2}$ song takes $\frac{1}{8}$ minute, then 1 song takes $\frac{1}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}\times2=\frac{1}{4}$? Wait, that can't be. Wait, no: rate is (fraction of song) per time. So time per song is time divided by fraction of song. So $\frac{1}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}\times2=\frac{1}{4}$? But the options don't have $\frac{1}{4}$. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, $\frac{1}{2}$ song in $\frac{1}{8}$ minute, so 1 song would take $\frac{1}{8}\times2=\frac{1}{4}$? But the options are a. 3 1/2, b. 4/17, c. 6 mi/hr, d. 4, e. 1/3, f. 4, g. 1/5, h. 2/5, i. 7/15. Wait, maybe I misread the problem. Wait, the problem says "How minutes will he need to play a full song?" Wait, maybe it's $\frac{1}{8}$ minute for $\frac{1}{2}$ song, so time per song is $\frac{1}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$? But that's not in the options. Wait, maybe the problem is "1/2 of a song in 1/8 of a minute", so to play a full song (which is 2 times 1/2), time is $2\times\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$? No, that's the same. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's check again. If $\frac{1}{2}$ song takes $\frac{1}{8}$ minute, then 1 song takes $\frac{1}{8}\div\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}\times2=\frac{1}{4}$? But the options don't have $\frac{1}{4}$. Wait, maybe the problem is "1/2 of a song in 1/8 of a minute", so the time for a full song is $\frac{1}{8}\times2=\frac{1}{4}$? But the options don't have that. Wait, maybe I misread the fraction. Wait, the problem says "1/2 of a song in 1/8 of a minute". Wait, maybe it's "1/2 of a song in 1/8 of a minute", so to play a full song, we need to find how long it takes. So the rate is (1/2 song) per (1/8 minute), so time per song is (1/8 minute) / (1/2 song) = (1/8)*(2/1) = 1/4 minute? But the options don't have 1/4. Wait, maybe the problem is "1/2 of a song in 1/8 of an hour"? No, the problem says minute. Wait, maybe the options are mislabeled, or I made a mistake. Wait, let's check the other problems.
