Question

how many times does 2 goes in too 3

Answer 1

Answer:

2 goes into 3 exactly 1.5 times.

Explanation:

• If the question statement is put in other words, the same question could be asked as to how much is three divided by two?
• In an attempt to elucidate the problem, we can say that when a whole of two goes into three, it can be counted as two gone into three for one time.
• And for the 'one' that remains from which two did not go, it can be said that half of two can go through it.
• Hence, two goes into three exactly one and a half times.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 1/2 times

Explanation:  3 is written as 6/2 and 2 is written as 4/2 both have the same denominators (2) so you write how many times does 2 go into 3 as (6/2)/(4/2) OR 6/4 or 3/2 = 1+ 1/2
