Answer:

✅⅓(x - 5) = -⅔

✅distribute ⅓

✅x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

The difference of a number and 5 ==> x - 5

⅓ times the difference of a number and 5 equals -⅔, would be expressed as:

✅⅓(x - 5) = -⅔

✔️To solve for x, one possible first step is to distribute ⅓.

Thus,

⅓x - ⁵/3 = -⅔

Add ⁵/3 to both sides

⅓x = -⅔ + ⁵/3

⅓x = (-2 + 5)/3

⅓x = ³/3

⅓x = 1

Multiply both sides by 3

x = 3

<h3>What is an array (area) multiplication model?</h3>

An array representation of a multiplication is a rectangular visual order of positioning of rows and columns that indicates the terms of a multiplication equation.

Please find attached the area model to multiply the fractions

The terms of the equation represented by the model are indicated by the two columns of length one ninth each shaded grey and the three rows of width one fourth each covered with dots, such that the equation can be presented as follows;

$\left(\dfrac{1}{9} +\dfrac{1}{9}\right) \times \left(\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{4} \right) = \dfrac{2}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{6}{36}$
