REPRESENT A PROBLEM: Six friends share 5 meat pies. Each friend first eats half of a meat pie. How much more meat pie does each friend need to eat to finish all the meat pies and share them equally? Draw a quick picture to solve.
6 friends multiplied by 1/2 a pie each is 3 pies. That leaves 2 pies to divide evenly among 6 friends. 2/6 = 1/3. One third more pie more for everyone.
