hi! this is my take on the question:
part a: Anna works at a bakery and has 272 cake orders for this month. So far, she has only completed 1/6 of the orders; she has only completed 45 1/3 of the 272 orders.
part b: 272 x 1/6 = 45 1/3
part c:
-272 is the solution/“whole” of the number sentence
-45 1/3 is 1/6 of 272
-1/6 of 272 is 45 1/3, but in the original equation, when dividing a fraction it’s more like multiplying; 1/6 being divided represents the missing part of the whole.
you can use the answer from part a as an example to further explain this:
272: total of cake orders
45 1/3: completed amount of cake orders; equal to 1/6 of 272
1/6: represents the completion status of cake orders; 1/6 of the 272 cake orders is 45 1/3, but in the original equation since it’s being divided, making it 6/1, it represents the incomplete cake orders.
i hope this helps:) if you have any further questions feel free to comment!
