Question

You have 6 large candy bars. You want to split each one into thirds. How many candy bar pieces will you then have?

Answer 1

Answer:

$18\ pieces$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Divide each large candy bar into thirds

so

$\frac{1}{3}$

Now for each large candy bar you have 3 pieces of $\frac{1}{3}$

step 2

Find the total number of candy bars pieces by proportion

$\frac{1}{3}\frac{bar}{pieces} =\frac{6}{x}\frac{bar}{pieces}\\ \\x=6*3\\ \\x=18\ pieces$
