I see two equations that will yield the same answer.
What do you think?
A. 1/2 ÷ 1/3 = n
B. 2 ÷ 3 = n
C. 2 ÷ 1/3 = n
D. 1/2 x 1/3 = n
E. 2 x 1/3 = n
F. 1/2 ÷ 3 = n

Hmm -- how can each glass get more than 1 quart? That is wrong.
What answer do you get for F?
We know that Tina has 1/2 quart of iced tea. She pours the same amount into each of the 3 glasses.
To find the fraction of a quart of iced tea in each glass, we need to divide the total amount of tea (1/2 quart) by the number of glasses (3).
So, the correct equation that represents the fraction of a quart of iced tea in each glass is:
A. 1/2 ÷ 1/3 = n
This equation correctly represents the division of 1/2 quart by 1/3 (indicating the number of glasses) to determine the fraction of a quart in each glass.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1/2 ÷ 1/3 = n.
