Question

Mateo makes 6 leaves of banana bread. he sells 2/3 of the loaves at bake sale. Which expression represents how many loaves Mateo sold at the bake sale

Answer 1

No expressions provided to choose from, to find 2/3 of 6 loaves, you need to multiply the percentage by the number of loaves.

2/3(6 loaves)
=2/3(6/1)
=12/3
=4

Understanding how to check answer:
6 divided by 3 (because this problem is dealing with thirds).
6÷3=2
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
Since they want to know what 2 of the 3 pieces is, add 2 + 2= 4.

Hope this helps!! :)
