Question

Complete the mixed number equation that is represented by the area model

Answer 1

From the given data, it is clear that the first area model represents the fraction $\frac{1}{2} .$

From the second area model,

Total number of regions = 6

Number of shaded regions = 2

The fraction represented by the model = $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3} .$

Let's complete the expression.

$\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{3} )=\frac{1}{6}$
