Wednesday Mathematics - Equations
For today, I am learning to use addition and subtraction to work out fractions of a set.
I have to solve a question that has been given:
Two dogs, Hazel and Harry fought over 9 cm of dog roll. Harry got ⅓ of the dog roll and Hazel got ⅔ of the dog roll.
How much of the roll did Harry get?
Harry got 3 cm of the dog roll because 1 x 3 = 3 which means a ⅓ of 9 cm is 3.
How much of the roll did Hazel get?
Hazel gets 6 cm of the dog roll because calculating 2 x 3 = 6 which means ⅔ of 9 is 6.
fantastic math skills. keep going!
