Question

Andre draws this tape diagram for 3 divided by 2/3. He says that 3 divided by 2/3 = 4 1/3 because there are 4 groups of 2/3 and 1/3 left. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

• No

Step-by-step explanation:

It is incorrect

Let's divide and compare the sum

• 3 : 2/3 = 3*3/2 = 9/2 = 4 1/2

and

• There are four 2/3 fractions and one 1/3 fraction
• The 1/3 fraction is 1/2 of 2/3 fraction so instead of counting 1/3 as 1/3 it should be counted as 1/2
