The diagram shows how 3 people figured out how to share 2 cookies. Which equation does Not match the diagram. A.3/2 = 3 * 1/2, B.2 / 3 = 2/3, C.2 / 3 = 2 * 1/3, D.2 / 3 = 1/3 of 2.
Two cookies; three people
Which equation doesn't show that?
To determine which equation does not match the diagram, let's analyze each option:
A. 3/2 = 3 * 1/2
To simplify this equation, first multiply 3 and 1/2:
3 * 1/2 = 3/2
Thus, A. 3/2 = 3 * 1/2 is a true equation.
B. 2 / 3 = 2/3
In this equation, both sides are equal to 2/3. Therefore, B. 2 / 3 = 2/3 is a true equation.
C. 2 / 3 = 2 * 1/3
To simplify this equation, multiply 2 and 1/3:
2 * 1/3 = 2/3
Thus, C. 2 / 3 = 2 * 1/3 is a true equation.
D. 2 / 3 = 1/3 of 2
To determine if this equation is true, calculate 1/3 of 2:
1/3 * 2 = 2/3
Therefore, D. 2 / 3 = 1/3 of 2 is also a true equation.
Based on the analysis, all the given equations match the diagram. There is no equation that does not match.
