Answer 2

To find the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked, divide the number of problems her mom checked (23) by the total number of problems (56):

23/56

This cannot be simplified any further, so the answer is:

23/56

Answer 3

To find the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fractions 5/6 and 2/3:

(5/6) * (2/3)

This can be simplified by multiplying the numerators (5 * 2) and the denominators (6 * 3):

10/18

This fraction can be simplified further by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:

5/9

So, the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked is 5/9.
