Question

The strip below is cut into 9 equal bars.
Shade 2/3 of this strip.

Answer 1

Shade 6 bars.

Explanation:

You are asked to shade 2/3 of the strip. It is given that the strip has 9 equal parts. Multiply the number and fraction together:

`9 * (2)/(3) = (9)/(1) * (2)/(3) = (9 * 2)/(1 * 3) = (18)/(3) = 6`

You will shade 6 of the 9 bars given.
