Answer 1

2/6

Explanation:

We Know

She will use 1/6 of the poster for the title and 3/6 of the poster for a diagram of her experiment.

1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6

So, 4/6 of her poster has been used.

The rest of the poster will be used for the results of her experiment

How much of the poster will Katy use for the results?

We Take

6/6 - 4/6 = 2/6

So, 2/6 of her poster will be use for the result.

Answer 2

1/3 or 2/6

Explanation:

6/6 is a whole. If you subtract 1/6 from 6/6, you get 5/6. Then, subtract 3/6 from 5/6. You get 2/6 remaining for the result. 2/6 simplified is 1/3.
