Question: Scott made a casserole for dinner he gave equal portions of 1/2 the casserole to 3 friends what diagram could scott use to find the fraction of the whole casserole that each friend got?
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the diagram Scott used to find the portion each friend got.
The shaded part indicate the portion of the casserole.
When Scott prepared the dinner = 1 portion of casserole
He shared 1/2 the portion to 3 of his friends:
Divide the diagram of the full portion into 2 to get ½ of the casserole
1/2 of the casserole = ½ × 1 portion = ½ portion
Each of his 3 friends would have equal portions = ⅓ of the ½ portion
The diagram of the ½ portion would be divided into 3 equal part
In terms of calculation = ½ × ⅓
= 1/6
Each of his friends would have 1/6 portion of the casserole.
