Question

Draw a picture to show the product of 4:7 x 3. Then write the product

Answer 1

¹²/₇

Explanation:

Model ⁴/₇ × 3

Assume that you have three pies, each dived into seven slices.

There are only four slices remaining in each pie, that is, there is ⁴/₇ pie in each pie plate

The picture represents ⁴/₇ × 3.

Model the product

Now, transfer slices to get as many filled pie plates as possible.

Count the total slices.

You have 12 slices, and each slice represents ⅐ of a pie.

You have ¹²/₇ pie.

∴ ⁴/₇ × 3 = ¹²/₇
