Answer 1

Answer 2

i would say divide \(48\) by \(4\)

Answer 3

That's not a given answer.

Answer 4

can't think of anything else that would make sense
try \(48\div 4\)

Answer 5

is \(12\) a "given" answer?

Answer 6

So would I, except that I'd say we're multiplying 48 by (1/4), since the "scale factor" is presented as 1/4.

Answer 7

Oh wait yes it is! Thank you!
