Question

saniyah collected a total of 9 seashells she gave 1/3 to her sis how many seashells did Saniyah have left?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation: You would multiply 9x1/3 which would give you 3. If you want to understand even better here's how to do so: Put 3(the answer that you got from multiplying 9x1/3) into the fraction 1/3 as 1. In other words, it would look something like this 3/3. Then, just multiply the two numbers 3x3 and that equals 9, the number you started with.

Hope that this helped!!:)

Answer 2

Considering the provided information in the given question, we have :

• Total seashells Saniyah have = 9
• Number of seashells Saniyah gave to her sister =
  `\sf (1)/(3)` of total.

We need to find how many seashells did Saniyah have left.

⇒ Number of seashells Saniyah have left = Total seashells – Number of seashells she gave to her sister

⇒
`\sf {Left \: seashells = 9 - \Bigg \lgroup (1)/(3) * 9 \Bigg \rgroup }`

⇒
`\sf {Left \: seashells = 9 - \Bigg \lgroup 1 * 3 \Bigg \rgroup }`

⇒ Left seashells = 9 – 3

⇒ Left seashells = 6

Therefore, Saniyah have left
`\bf {6 \: seashells }`.
