Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Shade 6 bars.

Step-by-step 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:

$9 * \frac{2}{3} = \frac{9}{1} * \frac{2}{3} = \frac{9 * 2}{1 * 3} = \frac{18}{3} = 6$

You will shade 6 of the 9 bars given.
