Question

Three pounds of flour are divided into 6 containers so that each container holds the same number of pounds of flour. this visual model represents the situation, with each letter representing one of the containers. three equally sized rectangles. each rectangle is divided into 6 equal parts. longer lines separate every 3 parts. the first 3 parts of the first rectangle are each labeled a. the second 3 parts of the first rectangle are each labeled b. the first 3 parts of the second rectangle are each labeled c. the second 3 parts of the second rectangle are each labeled d. the first 3 parts of the third rectangle are each labeled e. the second 3 parts of the third rectangle are each labeled f. how many pounds of flour does each container hold?

Answer 1

Each container will hold 0.5 pound of flour.

In the problem there is 3 pounds of floor to be divided in 6 containers. we can visually represent problem like this :

a a a

b b b

c c c

d d d

e e e

f f f

From the given information we have divided the table into 6 parts, and

respectively name the columns given in the question. Now we have to divide 3

pounds of flour equally in these columns . so we can apply the basic unitary method by dividing pounds of flour by total no. of container.

Flour in each container= pounds of flour/no. of containers

Flour in each container = 3/6

=1/2

Thus 0.5 pound flour will be in each container.
