Converting Equal Distribution to Fractions: 3 Apples ÷ 2 Children

Let's solve the problem step by step:

We are given 3 apples that need to be distributed equally among 2 children. This requires calculating how many apples each child receives, expressed as a fraction.

• Step 1: Identify how to divide the apples. We want each child to receive an equal share of the 3 apples. This implies a division problem: $3 \div 2$.
• Step 2: Set up the division as a fraction. When you divide 3 apples among 2 children equally, you are determining $\frac{3}{2}$.
• Step 3: Express the result as a fraction. Each child receives $\frac{3}{2}$ apples.

Thus, when 3 apples are divided equally among 2 children, the result is represented by the fraction $\frac{3}{2}$.

This matches with the correct choice provided, which is choice 4: $\frac{3}{2}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{3}{2}$.
