sue and dave shared 1/3 pound of cherries equally. What fractional part of a pound did each get?
Molly wrote the following equation to solve the problem: (2 divided by 1/3)
2/1/3=n. Do you agree with Molly's equation? support your answer with information from the problem.
I would say it is incorrect becauce it should be 1/3 divided by2 (1/3/2=n)
this would get the correct answer of 1/6, where as Molly's equation would give an answer of 6, which would not be correct.
Is this correct? Thanks for your help.
