![**Rewriting Division as Multiplication**
The problem presented is:
\[ n \div m = p \]
To convert this division problem into a multiplication problem, we can use the relationship between division and multiplication. Specifically, division can be expressed as multiplication by the reciprocal.
**Options for Rewriting:**
1. \( m = n \div p \)
2. \( n \cdot m = p \)
3. \( n = p \cdot m \)
4. \( n \cdot p = m \)
**Correct Equation:**
- The correct multiplication equation is \( n = p \cdot m \).
This equation indicates that \( n \), divided by \( m \) equals \( p \), can also be expressed by saying \( p \), multiplied by \( m \), equals \( n \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb30d7fc0-4739-4205-b977-e5697f99a5bd%2Fca1406a7-bdd4-4a24-af10-d0a013f7cc58%2Fthh0tq_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
