Question

Determine the value of the expression
4/7 of 28

Answer 1

First of all let's see if we can divide 28 by 7...can we?

Answer 2

you get 4

Answer 3

i don't understand what they mean by "of"

Answer 4

if we divide 28 in 7 equal pieces, how much is each piece?

whatever amount each of the 7 pieces are, it then says
grab 4 of those 7 pieces

Answer 5

sorta like grabbing a PIE and cutting it in 7 equal pieces, then taking out 4 of them

in this case it's just not a pie, is a quantity :)

Answer 6

Ok so sorry I was afk anyways yes as jdoe is explaining you divide it by 7 and take those four "pieces"

Answer 7

so is the answer just 4?

Answer 8

We know that 28/7 = 4

Answer 9

No

Answer 10

okay

Answer 11

First we divided the whole number (28) by the denominator (7) and now we have to multiply the quotient (outcome of dividing) by the numerator.

Answer 12
