Question

Write a story that represents the math problem 2/6 times 3/4

Answer 1

if i did it right, it should be t=8.
step by step: rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation: 1/4*t6-(-4)=0
simplify 1/4
((1/4•t) - 6) - -4 =0
subtracting a whole from a fraction. rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
6 = 6/1 = 6•4/4
equivalent fraction: the fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole.
common denominator: the equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator.
adding up the two equivalent fractions
add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator.
combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
t - (6•4)/4 = t - 24/4
(t - 24) - -4 = 0
subtracting a whole from a fraction
rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as a denominator:
-4 = -4/1 = -4•4 / 4
adding up the two equivalent fractions.
t - 8/4 =0
when a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.
Now, to get rid of the denominator. Tiger multiples both sides of the equation by the denominator.
here's how:
t-8 • 4 = 0 • 4
Now, on the left hand said, the 4 cancels out the denominator while on the right side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape
t-8=0
solve t-8=0
add 8 to both sides of the equation:
t = 8
that's how you get the answer.

Answer 2

There is only 3/4 of a pie left. Two families decide to split the pie. There are 6 kids total, and they decide that each kid should get a sixth of what's left of the pie. One family has 2 kids, so how much pie will they get?

So 2/6 of 3/4 is 1/4 or .25
