of the assignment. What fraction of the assignment did her mom check?

5/9

1/3

5/4

1/6

Answer 1

that's wrong

Answer 2

To find the fraction of the assignment Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of problems Celeste completed by the fraction her mom checked.

The fraction of problems Celeste completed is 5/6.
The fraction her mom checked is 2/3.

We multiply 5/6 by 2/3:

(5/6) * (2/3) = (10/18) = 5/9

Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 5/9 of the assignment.

The correct answer is 5/9.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake.

To find the fraction of the assignment Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of problems Celeste completed by the fraction her mom checked.

The fraction of problems Celeste completed is 5/6.
The fraction her mom checked is 2/3.

We multiply 5/6 by 2/3:

(5/6) * (2/3) = (10/18)

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

(10/18) = (5/9)

Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 5/9 of the assignment.

The correct answer is 5/9.
