Answer:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Solving (a): Multiplication sentence
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Rewrite of as *
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{3}\ *\ \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Solve
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Hence, the multiplication sentence is:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Solving (b): Rectangular fraction model
In (a) above, the result is 2/5
The fraction model will be represented as thus:
- Draw a rectangle
- Partition in to 5 equal parts (5 represents the denominator)
- Shade 2 of the 5 partitions (2 represents the numerator)
