Will you show me how to do this problem? Write a word problem that can be described by the division expression 9 1/3 divided by 2 3/4 Use complete sentences in your answer.

Respuesta :

Given the expression;

[tex]\frac{9\frac{1}{3}}{2\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

Note that the terms in the expression are;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 9\frac{1}{3}=dividend \\ 2\frac{3}{4}=divisor \end{gathered}[/tex]

The result of this expression is the "qoutient."

Therefore, a word problem to model this might be;

"Lyonel has a wooden board that is 9 1/3 meters long. He wants to cut smaller sized boards that measure exactly 2 3/4 meters each in length. How many of the smaller sized boards can he cut out of the long wooden board?"
