Question

vijay has 6/6 of a cup os raisins. he wants to put the raisins into three snack bags what are two different ways he could put raisins into three snack bags use a model to show each way.

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the first way to share 6/6 into 3

The first way could be to share 6/6 equally into 3 parts.

That is,

$\frac{\frac{6}{6}}{3}=\frac{6}{6}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{6}$

Therefore, the model is

$\frac{6}{6}=\frac{2}{6}+\frac{2}{6}+\frac{2}{6}$

In the diagram, we have

Step 2: Find the second way to share 6/6 into 3

The second way is to share 6/6 in the ratio 1:2:3. That is the model is

$\frac{6}{6}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}$

In diagram, we have

Therefore, the models are

6/6 = 2/6 + 2/6 + 2/6

and

6/6 = 1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6
