Question

Draw a rectangular fraction model to explain your thinking. Then, write a multiplication sentence. A. 2 3 of = 3 5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5}$

Solving (a): Multiplication sentence

$\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5}$

Rewrite of as *

$\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{3}\ *\ \frac{3}{5}$

Solve

$\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$

Hence, the multiplication sentence is:

$\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$

Solving (b): Rectangular fraction model

In (a) above, the result is 2/5

The fraction model will be represented as thus:

• Draw a rectangle
• Partition in to 5 equal parts (5 represents the denominator)
• Shade 2 of the 5 partitions (2 represents the numerator)
