Elena's diagram illustrates a number line divided into thirds. With six points between 0 and 2, each representing 1/3, counting yields 27 thirds in 6. Adjustments include marking "6" and labeling the equation 6 = 27 x 2/3.
Finding how many 2/3 are in 6 using Elena's diagram:
Imagine Elena's diagram showing a number line divided into thirds, with each third labeled as "2/3". There are also six points marked evenly between the 0 and 2 marks. To find how many 2/3 are in 6, follow these steps:
Each marked point represents 1/3: Since there are six points between 0 and 2, which are two big thirds, each point represents one small third, or 1/3.
Count the points between 0 and 6: There are a total of nine points on the number line if you count both the 0 and 6 marks.
Divide the number of points by the value of each point: Since each point represents 1/3, there are 9 points / (1/3) = 27 thirds in 6.
Therefore, there are 27 two-thirds (2/3) in 6.
Adjusting and labeling the diagram:
Clearly mark the point labeled "6" with a bigger circle or different color to show it represents the whole 6.
Underneath the number line, write the equation: 6 = 27 x 2/3
