The fraction bars represent which equation?

A fraction bar is labeled 1. Underneath the bar, 4 boxes are labeled one-fourth. Underneath the 4 boxes, 8 boxes are labeled one-eighth. 6 of those boxes are circled.

One-fourth divided by one-eighth = 6

Three-fourths divided by one-eighth = six-eighths

One-fourth divided by one-eighth = StartFraction 6 Over 8 EndFraction

Three-fourths divided by one-eighth = 6

Three-fourths divided by one-eighth = 6 (D)

Explanation:

For the first layer, Total = 1

Second layer:

1 is divided into 4 places = 1/4

So we have 1/4 in 4 places

The total of the second layer = 1/4×4 = 1

Third layer:

Each 1/4 is divided into 2 = 1/4÷2

= 1/4× 1/2 = 1/8

1/4 in 4 places = 1/8 in 2(4) places

= 1/8 in 8 places

Total of third layer = 1/8×8 = 1

Find attached the diagram derived from the above used in solving the question.

We are to find the fraction bars that represent the equation.

For those circled: 6 of the 1/8 in the third layer are under 3 of the 1/4 in the second layer.

Since under those circled, there are 6 boxes with 1/8, the fraction bar that would represent the equation would be equal to 6 in the left and right hand side of the equation.

The fraction bars that represent the equation = 3(1/4) ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 × 8/1 = 6

Therefore, Three-fourths divided by one-eighth = 6 (D)
