Question

What equation does the model below represent?

Answer 1

one and five sixths minus four sixths, the model shows four sixths being subtracted from one and five sixths

Answer 2

`1(5)/(6)-(4)/(6)=1(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

1) We have a bigger bar
`1(1)/(6)` and 4 little bars of
`(1)/(6)`

2) There is a subtraction. This is why 4 little bars of
`(1)/(6)` are being taken away. Look at the arrow direction

3)
`1(5)/(6)-(4)/(6)=1(1)/(6)`
