Question #39c90

Answer 1

100

Explanation:

Let's explore two ways to solve this.

First we will use the property of fractions that when you divide by a fraction it is the same as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction. i.e.:

`A div B/C = A xx C/B`

Which in our case gives us:

`25 div 1/4 = 25 xx 4/1= 25 xx 4 = 100`
`color(red)ul(                                                                                          )`

Second let's do the divisions. First let's divide 1 by 4.

`1 /4=0.25`

which then gets us:

`25/0.25`

Multiplying top and bottom by 100 we get:

`2500/25`

finally we divide top and bottom by 25

`cancel(2500)^100/cancel25^1=100`
