Question

Up: How Many?If the hexagon is one whole, how many one-thirds (3s) are in 12/3?Explain how the model shows the problem and thesolution.How many 1/3 are in 1 and 2/3?

Answer 1

`1(2)/(3)=(5)/(3)`

so we have to divide 5/3 by 1/3

`((5)/(3))/((1)/(3))=(5)/(3)\cdot(3)/(1)=5`

so there are 5 1/3's in 1 2/3
