Part A: Creating a story or context for this number sentence:
Once upon a time, there was a group of 32 friends who decided to bake a delicious cake together. The recipe required 1/4 cup of sugar, which they divided equally among themselves. But when they realized that they only had 1/8 cup of sugar left, they went to the store and bought 258 more cups of sugar. In the end, they had enough sugar to complete their cake!
Part B: Rewriting the number sentence using multiplication:
To rewrite the number sentence using multiplication, we need to convert the fractions to decimals, multiply the whole numbers, and then divide the product by the product of the denominator of the fractions.
32 and 1/4 ÷ 1/8 = 258
Firstly, we'll convert the fractions to decimals. To convert 1/4 into a decimal, we divide 1 by 4: 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25. Similarly, 1/8 as a decimal is 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125.
Now, we multiply the whole numbers:
32 × 0.25 ÷ 0.125 = 258
Part C: Describing the relationship between these three numbers verbally:
In this number sentence, the number 32 represents a certain quantity or value. The fraction 1/4 represents a portion of that quantity, specifically one-fourth of it. The fraction 1/8 represents another portion, and in this case, one-eighth of it. When we divide the portion represented by 32 by the portion represented by 1/4 divided by 1/8, the result is 258. So, these three numbers are related in a way that allows us to find one portion of a quantity by dividing it by the product of the other two portions.
what the hell I do not know! I usualy know everything.
32 1/4 ÷ 1/8 = 258
