#3div 4 = 3/4#

Explanation:

This type of question is so easy when you see what is happening!

The question is the answer!

  • You are trying to share out 3 bars between 4 boys...

  • You need to divide: #3 div 4#

  • Write the division in the fraction format: #3/4#

  • This is the answer!!

Each boy will get "three-quarters" of a bar.

#3div 4 = 3/4#

In the same way: if 7 apples are shared between 5 friends, they each get:

#7div5 = 7/5 = 1 2/5# apples
