Question

Vicki made a fruit tart and cut it into six equal pieces . vicki, silvia,and Elena each took 2 pieces of the tart home. vicki says she and each of her friends took one third of the tart home. is vicki correct ? explain

Answer 1

Yes, Vicki's statement is true. 
The fruit tart was split into 6 pieces and to find what 1/3 of 6 is, you'd have to divide 6/3 which equals 2. So, 1/3 of 6 is 2 and each girl took home 2 pieces (1/3) of the tart home
