The reciprocal of ( \\frac{1}{3} ) is ( 3 ), so the calculation can be expressed as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>4 \\div \\frac{1}{3} = 4 \\times 3<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, performing the multiplication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>4 \\times 3 = 12<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, ( 4 \\div \\frac{1}{3} = 12 ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand why this works, let\u2019s break it down further. When you divide a number by a fraction, you\u2019re essentially determining how many of those fractional parts fit into the whole number. In this case, you want to find out how many ( \\frac{1}{3} ) portions fit into 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine that you have a whole (4 units) and you want to break it into pieces of ( \\frac{1}{3} ). To visualize this, you can think of it as taking 4 whole units and dividing each unit into 3 parts. Since each whole unit consists of 3 ( \\frac{1}{3} ) portions, the total number of ( \\frac{1}{3} ) portions in 4 units would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>3 \\text{ (from one unit)} \\times 4 \\text{ (units)} = 12<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, you can see that dividing 4 by ( \\frac{1}{3} ) results in 12. This principle applies broadly to any situation where you divide by a fraction; you always multiply by the reciprocal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, dividing by a fraction can be thought of as scaling up the original number, indicating that you can fit multiple portions of that fraction into the whole number. Therefore, ( 4 \\div \\frac{1}{3} = 12 ) is a straightforward calculation that illustrates a fundamental concept in arithmetic involving fractions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 divided by 1\/3 as a fraction The Correct Answer and Explanation is : The correct answer is: 12 To divide 4 by ( \\frac{1}{3} ), you can follow the rule of dividing by a fraction, which is to multiply by its reciprocal.
