Respuesta :
If there are 2 people sharing 1/3 lb, the answer is not 0.3333.
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 0.167
1/2 * 1/3 = n = 0.167
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 0.167
1/2 * 1/3 = n = 0.167
Answer with explanation:
1)
If we divide 1/3 pounds equally among two people then each of them will get a share of:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=0.1666\ pounds[/tex]
Hence,the given answer that each will get 0.3333 pounds is incorrect.
2)
Molly wrote the following quotation to solve the problem: 2 . 1/3 = n.
This is an incorrect equation since this equation does not represent the half share of 1/3 pounds.
It represents the double amount of 1/3 pounds.
