Question

Zack needs to divide these base - ten blocks into 3 equal groups. draw or describe a model to show how many are in each group.

Answer 1

you get 3.33333333333 so you can not equally distribute ten into a group.

Answer 2

`3(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

To divided those ten blocks into 3 equal groups, we have to use mixed number, because otherwise, if we use decimal numbers, we won't be that accurate.

So, if we divide ten by 3, we will have 3 as the whole part, and 1/3 as the decimal part:

`(10)/(3)=3(1)/(3)`

Basically, the model would have 3 groups of
`3(1)/(3)`, which all together gives 10 boxes.
