Question

Strech your thinking- Cameron eats 1/3 of his granola bars before school and another 1/3 of the granola bar for lunch. Draw and shade a fraction bar to show how much of the granola bar Cameron has eaten.​

Answer 1

Answer: 2/3

Explanation:

If he ate 1/3 then he ate 1/3 again of his granola bar, add 1/3 plus 1/3. It would equal to 2/3.

Answer 2

Look at the image provided.

Explanation:

The top number, 1, is the numerator. This practically indicates how much of the denominator [the bottom number] is taken out (in this case, it's taken out because Cameron ate it).

A denominator is how many pieces there are total. In this case, there are 3.

Thinking logically, if Cameron ate 1 slice of granola before school, and another for lunch, she ate a total of 2 slices [or 2/3].

Now to the drawing. Draw a rectangle and divide it into 3 sections (as there's 3 pieces to the granola). If Cameron ate 2, you have to colour in 2. So there yellow shaded section on my diagram is the shaded bar.

Hope this helps!
