Interpret the model to determine the fraction used to divide 3/8

Question

A 5/8

B 3/4

C 1/2

D 10/16

Answer 1

The fraction used to divide 3/8 will be the divisor in a division problem.

To interpret the model, we can look at the different fraction options given and choose the one that represents the divisor.

A 5/8 represents a fraction that is greater than 3/8, so it does not work as the divisor.

B 3/4 is the same as 6/8, which is a fraction greater than 3/8.

C 1/2 represents a fraction that is smaller than 3/8, so it also does not work as the divisor.

D 10/16 is equivalent to 5/8, which is greater than 3/8.

Therefore, none of the given options is the correct fraction to divide 3/8.
