Marcus bake loaf of bread of banana bread for a party he cut the loaf into equal size . At the end of the party there were 6 pieces left . Explain how you can find the number of pieces in the whole loaf if Marcus told 1/3 of the loaf was left
I can find the answer by making 3 sections then make 6 in each group.
If 1/3 of the loaf was left, the whole loaf will be 3x, so the answer will be 18.
6*3=18
I need the answer
Um, 6x3=18 duh
well if 1/3 was left, the whole loaf was 3 times as much.
So, how many pieces would that be?
