Question

Explain how you would model 5 x 2/3.

Answer 1

Explanation:

well as you can see 5 x 2/3= 3 1/3 there is 7 steps to figure it out1. set up the problem5 x 2/32. put a 1 on 5 to make it a fraction5/1 x 2/33. multiply and divide(5 x 2) / (1/3)4. find out the answer10/35. turn the answer into a mixed fraction10 divided by 3= 3.1 3 stays the same you don't need to say 16. it equals3 1/37. so the answer is3 1/3

5×(2/3) simplify that to 5×0.66 reccuring. so the answer is 3.333 reccuring

Answer 2

See below .

Explanation:

How about this?

(a) Model 5× ⅔

Draw five rectangles, each divided into three squares.

In each rectangle, shade in two of the squares.

Your diagram (the first figure below) models 5 × ⅔.

(b) Model the result

Remove the ten squares to fill as many rectangles as possible.

You will get three filled rectangles and one with only one square filled.

The second image below models the result: 5 × ⅔ = 3⅓.
