I don't see the expression you want matched to a situation — can you paste it here?

Meanwhile, here’s how to match expressions to these contexts so you can check once you paste it:

- A (Elroy cuts meters of rope into pieces that are each of a meter long): division — total length ÷ piece length (e.g., 6 ÷ 1/3).
- B (Janey is given cups of flour. She only uses of a cup of the flour): usually multiplication if she uses a fraction of the total (total × fraction); if she uses a fixed fractional-cup amount you might write total − amount used. Context decides which.
- C (Von runs around a track times. The track is of a km long): multiplication — number of laps × track length (e.g., 3 × 2/5).
- D (Jean has pounds of grapes. He gives of a pound to Roy): subtraction — total − amount given (or could be division if asking how many people get a given share).

Post the exact expression and I’ll pick the correct choice.
