Q:

Urvi solved a fraction division problem using the rule “multiply by the reciprocal.” Her work is shown below.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:D. Urvi multiplied with the reciprocal of the dividend instead of the reciprocal of the divisor.Step-by-step explanation:We know that Urvi solved a fraction division problem using the rule “multiply by the reciprocal.”According to this rule, “multiply by the reciprocal”, we need to take the reciprocal of the divisor (denominator) and multiply with the dividend in its original form.Looking at the calculations made by Urvi, we can see that she took the reciprocal of the dividend and not the divisor.Therefore, the correct answer option is D. Urvi multiplied with the reciprocal of the dividend instead of the reciprocal of the divisor.
