Se any model you choose to solve the story problem.

A construction worker took of the bags of cement in a load and separated them into 4 equal piles.

What fraction of the entire load of bags was in each pile?

A.

32/1

B.

8/4

C.

1/2

D.

1/32

As the question stands, none of the choices is a correct answer.

In the question, I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be something in

the space between the words "worker took ... of the bags".

If "one eighth" or " 1/8 ", is stuffed into that space, then each pile

contains (1/4 of 1/8) of the entire load. That's 1/32 of it.
