400 has how many FourThirds in it??
-----------
Similar problem:: How many 3's are in 6?
You divide 6 by 3 and get 2.
--------------------------------
Your problem::
How many 4/3 's are in 400
You dvide to get the answer.
400/(4/3) = ?
To divide by a fraction you invert the denominator and multiply::
400(4/3) = 400*(3/4)
Divide the 400 by 4 to get:
100*3
Answer: 300
---
So 400 contains 4/3 300 times
-----------------------------------
Ans: 400/(4/3) = 400(3/4) = 100*3 = 300
