Question

A segment is 3 units long. It is divided into 9 parts. What fraction of a unit are 2 parts of the segment?

Answer 1

Hi there!

First, let's figure out how long one part would be.

WORK:
3 = 9x
x = 3/9 or 1/3 of a unit

Next, we can multiply one part by 2 to figure out how long two parts would be.

WORK:
1/3 x 2
2/3

ANSWER:
2 parts of a segment is 2/3 of a unit

Hope this helps!! :)
