solve and create a word problem for 2 3/4 divided by 1/3

Answer 1

2 3/4 = 11/4

divided by 1/3 = (11/4)/(1/3) = (11/4)(3)= 33/4 = 8 1/4 = 8.25

You have 2 3/4 pizzas

and you have some people, each wanting a 1/3 slice of a pizza

how many people can you satisfy?

at most 8, as 8 times 1/3 = 8/3 = 32/12 < 33/12 = 11/4

so you can satisfy 8, plus have 1/12 slice left over to give to a 9th person

that 9th person wanted 1/3 of a slice but you gave them 1/12, which is 1/4 what they wanted

so you can say you satisfied 8 1/4 people which is 2 3/4 divided by 1/3
