QUESTION 3

A pan of brownies is cut into eight equal rows. Two thirds of one of those rows is what fraction of the whole pan.

Answer 1

`(1)/(11)`

Explanation:

`(2)/(22)` =
`(1)/(11)`

I drew a pan when I divided into 8 rows. Then I divided that up inot 2/3. In the first row that is divided into 3 parts, I want one of those 2 parts. The total parts are 22. 2/22

Answer 2

1/12

Explanation:

Each row would be 1/8 of the whole pan. Now multiply 1/8 by 2/3.

Multiply the numerators: 1*2=2

Multiply the denominators: 8*3=24

Your answer: 2/24 or 1/12 simplified (dividing both top and bottom by 2)

Hope this helps. :)
