Explain: how would you model 5 x 2/3

Answer 1

Well as you can see 5 x 2/3= 3 1/3 there is 7 steps to figure it out

1. set up the problem
5 x 2/3

2. put a 1 on 5 to make it a fraction
5/1 x 2/3

3. multiply and divide
(5 x 2) / (1/3)

4. find out the answer
10/3

5. turn the answer into a mixed fraction
10 divided by 3= 3.1 3 stays the same you don't need to say 1

6. it equals
