Draw lines to show how Mrs. Reed could cut one pan into thirds one into fourths one into sixths and one into eights. Part B. At the end of the dinner equivalent amounts of lasagna in two pans were left. Use the models to show the lasagna that might have been left over .

Answer 1

Please see the attached picture for the four lasagnas broken into pieces the size of 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8.

The second set of pictures show that we combine groups of 1/6 and 1/3 to get one whole and groups of 1/4 and 1/8 to get a second whole lasagna.
