Andre draws a tape diagram for 3÷2/3

Andre says that 3÷2/3= 4 1/3 because there are 4 groups of 2/3 and 1/3 left. Do you agree with Andre? Explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

Answer:

No I do not agree with Andre says that 3 divided by 2/3 Solving for 3 ÷ 2/3

3 ÷ 2/3

= 3 × 3/2

= 9/2

= 4 1/2

Therefore, 3 divided by 2/3 is 4 1/2

Andre's reasoning is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is incorrect

Let's divide and compare the sum

3 : 2/3 = 3*3/2 = 9/2 = 4 1/2

and

There are four 2/3 fractions and one 1/3 fraction

The 1/3 fraction is 1/2 of 2/3 fraction so instead of counting 1/3 as 1/3 it should be counted as 1/2
