Andre says that 3 divided by 2/3 equals 4 and 1/3 because there are four groups of 2/3 and 1/3 left. Do you agree with Andre? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

No I do not agree with Andre

Explanation:

Andre says that 3 divided by 2/3

Solving for 3 ÷ 2/3

3 ÷ 2/3

= 3 × 3/2

= 9/2

= 4 1/2

Therefore, 3 divided by 2/3 is 4 1/2

Andre's reasoning is wrong.
