Question

Jenny has 12 kids.
2/6 of the kids are girls.
How many daughters does Jenny have?

Answer 1

This is how you do the question.

look at the 2/6.
look at the second number it is 6.
6+6=12
Draw 12 stick men on a paper.
then group them up into 2 groups.
One group should have 6 stick men on it.
Shade two stick men in one group.
then when you count the shaded part you will get the answer 4.

Jenny have 4 daugthers.

Answer 2

Whatever happened to the ol' fashioned way:

2/6 = 1/3
So 1/3 of the 12 kids are girls , and (1/3(12) = 4

so, ........ (drum roll)

4 of the 12 kids were girls.
