(3/4) / 12

= 3/(4*12)

= 1/(4*4)

= 1/16
12 + 3/4 = 12 3/4

Hmmm -- That doesn't seem right.

Please try again.
Would It Be Multiplication?
3/4 * 12
12/1 * 3/4
36/4 = 9
9 cups of sugar in each brownie??? How can that be?

THINK!
she mixed this 3/4 cup of sugar up with some other ingredients in a big mixing bowl.

Then she baked and divided the bowl contents up into 12 brownies
I agree with ms.sue
But can it be both or one never know sorry going though math problems with my daughter
It's division the problem is separate ing sugar into a dozen brownies key word (how much)
