Explanation:

Divide the rectangle into 6 parts with equal area. Write the fraction that names the area of each part of the whole. Step 1 Draw lines to divide the rectangle into 6 parts with equal area. Use the grid to help you. Step 2 Write the fraction that names each part of the divided whole. Think: Each part is 1 part out of 6 equal parts.
