Max worked for 2/3 hour. It takes 1/6 hour to make one card. How many cards has Max made? Provide students with fraction bars or guide them in creating a tape diagram as they work in pairs to solve.​

Respuesta :

Answer: Max has 4 cards.

Step-by-step explanation: 2/6 is equal to 1/3 so 4/6 is equal to 2/3

Also an easier way is to divide 4 by 2 to get 2 and 6 by 2 to get 3.

Answer:

4 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Each card takes  [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of an hour to be completed, and Max works for [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of an hour, so Max must've completed x amount of cards in

[tex]\frac{1}{6} x=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

And we can solve the equation by multiplying the reciprocal of [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] , which is [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex],to solve for x:

[tex]\frac{6}{1} * \frac{1}{6} x = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{6}{1} \\ \frac{6 *1}{6*1} x=\frac{2*6}{3*1} \\ \frac{6}{6} x=\frac{12}{3} \\[/tex]

And for any fraction, if the denominator and the numerator are the same number (except for 0), then it will result in 1.

[tex]1x=\frac{12}{3}[/tex]

The 1 isn't necessary when multiplying it with a variable, so we can simply remove it:

[tex]x=\frac{12}{3}[/tex]

And we can simplify the fraction...:

[tex]x=4[/tex]

And we are done!

Couldn't make a fraction bar but hopes this helps :(
