A 16-mile race is made up of 3 equal sections. Which equation shows how to find the number of miles in each section?

A- 16 ÷ 3 = 3/16

B- 16 ÷ 3 = 16/3

C- 16 ÷ 3 = 16/3

D- 3 ÷ 16 = 16/3

Verified Answer :

It looks like you could go with B or C. Cause you would divide 16 by 3 which makes D's question wrong and A's answer wrong. The actual answer is 5.33 (roughly) :)

The answer would be both B) and C) because 16/3 is the correct answer and both the options say the same!
