Laura and Sean find the product of 2/3 x 4 using different methods.

Mathematics
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: So our equation is \frac{2}{3} *4

Laura does:

\frac{2}{3}*4 = 2*\frac{1}{3}  *4 = 2*\frac{4}{3}  = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3}  = \frac{8}{3}

while Sean does:

\frac{2}{3}*4 = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} +\frac{2}{3}  + \frac{2}{3}  = \frac{8}{3}

So sean sums four times the number 2/3, while Laura sums two times the number 4/3, this is because we are working with a multiplication, and the order of the factors does not alter the product.

The two are splitting the equations in different ways.
