Todd needs to make 6 sandwiches. He uses an eight of a loaf of bread for each sandwich. draw a number line to represent how much bread he needs for 6 sandwiches?
0--1/6---2/6---3/6---4/6---5/6---6/6---1 Is this correct y or y-not? thank you.
you need to divide the interval into 1/8 pieces, since the loaf holds 8 slices.
Then shade in 6 of those pieces for the sandwiches.
thank you, I was very confused.
To draw a number line representing the amount of bread Todd needs for 6 sandwiches, we need to divide the whole loaf of bread into equal parts. Since Todd uses 1/8 of a loaf for each sandwich, we can divide the number line into 8 equal parts.
0 ---- 1/8 ---- 2/8 ---- 3/8 ---- 4/8 ---- 5/8 ---- 6/8 ---- 7/8 ---- 8/8 (1)
However, we want to represent the amount of bread for 6 sandwiches. Since Todd needs 1/8 of a loaf for each sandwich, the total amount of bread needed would be:
(1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) + (1/8) = 6/8 = 3/4
So the number line representing the amount of bread Todd needs for 6 sandwiches would look like this:
0 ---- 1/8 ---- 2/8 ---- 3/8 ------ 4/8 ------ 5/8 ------ 6/8 ------- 7/8 ------- 8/8 (1/8)
The point representing 6/8 or 3/4 would fall between 5/8 and 6/8. Therefore, the correct number line to represent the amount of bread for 6 sandwiches would be:
0 ---- 1/8 ---- 2/8 ---- 3/8 ---- 4/8 ---- 5/8 ---- 6/8 (3/4) ---- 7/8 ---- 8/8 (1)
So the correct answer is "n" (not correct).
