Question

My garden takes up 1/3 of my yard; I plant tomatoes in 1/2 of the garden. Write and solve the equation shown by the diagram to tell what fraction of my yard is tomatoes.

Answer 1

You’re going to divide 1/3 by 1/2.
1/3 divided by 1/2

Now here’s a reciprocal. That’s when you’re dividing 2 fractions and you flip 1 fraction and preform multiplication.

1 2 2
_ times _ = _
3 1 3

and you will get 2/3
