Carla needs 9 1/2m of canvas to make a tent. She will make another tent that is 2/3 as big. How many meters of canvas will she need to make the smaller tent?

What is the number sentence?
What is the srategy you used?

9.5 * 2/3 = ?

kindly i dont know

To find the number of meters of canvas needed to make the smaller tent, we can multiply the amount of canvas needed for the larger tent by the scaling factor of the smaller tent.

First, let's find the scaling factor by subtracting 2/3 from 1. Since Carla is making a tent that is 2/3 as big, the scaling factor is 1 - 2/3 = 1/3.

Now, let's multiply the scaling factor by the amount of canvas needed for the larger tent:

9 1/2m * 1/3 = (19/2) * (1/3) = 19/6 = 3 1/6m

Therefore, Carla will need 3 1/6 meters of canvas to make the smaller tent.

The number sentence used is: 9 1/2m * 1/3 = 3 1/6m.

The strategy used here is scaling down the canvas needed by multiplying it with the scaling factor of the smaller tent.
