Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.

If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
To find the value take the b and divide it by two. then square it. here your b value is 2 so 2/2 is 1. squared is. 1.
Perimeter is equal to 90 in.
Area is approximately equal to 389.71 in.
Twice means times 2.
