Answer 1

1)

The number 3 is split into 3 equal parts which are blue boxes, each blue box is split into 3 equal parts which are red boxes.

There are 9 red boxes.

3 divided by 1/3=The number of red boxes

$3\div\frac{1}{3}=9$

2)

The number 6 is split into 6 equal parts which are blue boxes, each blue box is split into 2 equal parts which are red boxes.

There are 12 red boxes.

6 divided by 1/2= the total number of red boxes

$6\div\frac{1}{2}=12$

3)

The number 4 is split into 4 equal parts which are blue boxes, each blue box is split into 2 equal parts which are red boxes.

There are 8 red boxes.

4 is divided into 1/2= the total number of red boxes.

$4\div\frac{1}{2}=8$

4)

The number 4 is split into 4 equal parts which are blue boxes and each blue box is spilt into 5 equal parts which are red boxes 1/5.

There are 20 red boxes.

4 is divided by 1/5=the total number of red boxes.

$4\div\frac{1}{5}=20$
