Question

Len has 3 strips of construction paper. Each strip is the same size and a different color-red, yellow, and pink. He tapes the strips together to make a rectangle. Then Len divides the rectangle into sixths so that each sixth is one color. What fraction other than 1/3 names the part of the rectangle that is red?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the rectangle strips are taped together to form a rectangle. Therefore 1 of the third of the rectangle would be red, this means that 1/3 of the rectangle would be red color. The rectangle is then divide into sixths, this can be achieved by dividing each of the taped strip into 2.

Therefore 2 of the sixths rectangle would be red in color, Hence the fraction of the rectangle that would be red is given as 2/6
