Answer:
Both quantities are similar.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to determine how the expressions [tex]\frac{1}{4}\text{ of }12[/tex] and 12 divided by 4 are related.
The expression [tex]\frac{1}{4}\text{ of }12[/tex] means one-fourth of 12. To calculate one-fourth of 12, we will divide 12 by 4.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\text{ of }12=\frac{1}{4}\times 12=\frac{1\times 12}{4}=\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{4}\text{ of }12[/tex] is same as 12 divided by 4.
The expressions are the same, since dividing by a is the same as multiplying by [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{a}}[/tex]
---------------------
''1/4 of 12''
This is:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}12 = \frac{12}{4} = 3[/tex]
---------------------
''12 divided by 4''
This is:
[tex]\frac{12}{4} = 3[/tex]
---------------------
This will always apply, as dividing by a is the same as multiplying by [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{a}}[/tex].
