Answer: \(48\div4\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total barrettes bought = 48

The total number of people shares the barrettes =3+1=4  (Including Christi)

Now, if She shares the barrettes equally between herself and her 3 sisters., then the expression to represent the number of barrettes each girl gets will be :-

\(\text{Total barrettes}\div\text{Total persons}\\\\=48\div4\)  ( Using division operation)

Hence, the expression to represent the number of barrettes each girl gets:

\(48\div4\)
