Question

Andre draws the tape diagram below to represent 3 divided by 2/3, and says that the answer is 4 and 1/3. Is he correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, he is not

Step-by-step explanation:

3 : 2/3 = 3*3/2 = 9/2 = 4 1/2

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
