Question

Draw an area model to solve the problem.

Steps:
1. Draw a square model that represents one whole.
2,1-2
%3D
2. Divide the model with vertical lines to show one of the fractions
6
you are multiplying (in this example, it is divided into halves).
3. Shade in the fraction.
4. Divide the same model with horizontal lines to show the other
fraction you are multiplying (in this example, it is divided into thirds).
5. Shade in the fraction.
6. Count the total parts in the model. This is the denominator in the
answer. In this example, there are six total parts.
7. Count the parts where the shaded portions overlap. This is the
numerator in the answer. In this example, two parts have
overlapping shading.
8. Simplify the answer. In this example, á can be simplified to 3.
