Question

(5/6)-(1/3). They say to use rectangular fraction model to find common denominators. Simplify if possible What is this rectangle fraction nonsense. Mom helping kid :(

Answer 1

Drawings aren’t the best but if that helps any? They want you to find the common denominator which is the bottom number of the fraction like how the 3 in 1/3 goes into the 6 in 5/6 twice so that’s the relationship so you keep going until you see a relationship with the numerator 3,6,9,12
