Answer:
It makes 5/3 it is less than two!
Step-by-step explanation:
Topic: Fractions and Mixed Numbers
You have to remember the concept of fractions, let's represent by cake diagrams, it says that Gary says that 3, let's say it's 3 cakes, as the fractions are represented in terms of thirds, let's draw the cakes each one divided in 3.
and the statement says that taking away 1 and 1/3 it will make more than 2.
As you can see in the picture below, we take away 1 cake and we will take away another third of a second cake represented by the brown region of the cakes. it means that the yellow region is what's left after taking the 1 and 1/3. as you can see it doesn't make two, makes less than two exactly 5/3.
PS: Try and do it mathematically now!
