Question

If Fran has 7 sheets of paper for a coloring project. If she only uses 1/3 of a sheet of paper per drawing how man drawings can she make?

Answer 1

1 sheet can contain 3 drawings. So 7 x 3 = 21.

21 drawings in total.

Answer 2

Since she can make 3 drawings on each piece of paper, multiply 3 by 7 to get 21. another way of doing it is to do the following:
7 1
--- ÷ ---
1 3

which is the same as
7 3
--- ÷ ---
1 1

which comes out to 21. either way, you get the same thing.
hope this helped
