The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B.

Question

Part A
"If you share 7 apples equally with 3 people, then there are 213
2
1
3
..."

First, complete the sentence. Then, briefly explain what the whole number 2, the denominator 3, and the numerator 1 mean in this problem?

Part B
The expression 1÷14
1
÷
1
4
is given. Give a real-life application to explain this expression and then simplify it.

Answer 1

Part A
"If you share 7 apples equally with 3 people, then there are 2 apples and 1 third remaining."
In this problem, the whole number 2 represents the number of whole apples remaining after sharing equally, the denominator 3 represents the number of people the apples are being shared with, and the numerator 1 represents the fraction of an apple remaining after dividing equally.

Part B
Real-life application: If a recipe calls for 1/4 cup of sugar per serving, and you want to make 14 servings, you need to calculate how much sugar you need in total.
Simplify: 1 ÷ 14 = 0.0714
Therefore, you need 0.0714 cups of sugar to make 14 servings in total.

Answer 2

For part b can you put it as a Fraction

Answer 3

Certainly!

Real-life application: If a recipe calls for 1/4 cup of sugar per serving, and you want to make 14 servings, you need to calculate how much sugar you need in total.
Simplify: 1 ÷ 14 = 1/14
Therefore, you need 1/14 cups of sugar to make 14 servings in total.
