Luis eats 4 pieces of a pizza divided into 6 equal-sized parts. Omar eats 2 of the pieces.
4/6 + 2/6 models the total amount of pizza Luis and Omar ate.
Which expression is equivalent to 4/6 + 2/6?
(1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) + (1/6 + 1/6)
(4/6 + 4/6 + 4/6 + 4/6) + (2/6 + 2/6)
46 + 26
4 + 6 + 2 + 6
The correct expression equivalent to ( frac{4}{6} + frac{2}{6} ) is:
((frac{1}{6} + frac{1}{6} + frac{1}{6} + frac{1}{6}) + (frac{1}{6} + frac{1}{6}))
Explanation:
This expression breaks down the fractions into their individual parts. ( frac{4}{6} ) is represented as four pieces of ( frac{1}{6} ) and ( frac{2}{6} ) as two pieces of ( frac{1}{6} ). When you add these together, it shows clearly how each individual part contributes to the total amount of pizza eaten.
