Question

there are 2 pieces of cornbread left in a pan. this is 1/6 of the pan. How many pieces are in the whole pan. Use a drawing to explain your work

Answer 1

2 1 1 2
-- = --- so to make it easier we can turn it around - --- = ---
? 6 6 ?
so 1*2=2 then we can do 6*2=12
there are 12 pieces in the pan.
to draw a picture draw a square/rectangle and divide it in to 6 pieces then divide each piece into 2
