Mrs. Lin brings 6 trays of hamburger buns to the barbecue. 2/3 of the trays have wheat buns. How many of the trays have wheat buns? Draw a diagram to solve the problem.
Where is diagram to explain. If u make attempt to help student solve problem then give proper explanation. Otherwise its just useless
To solve the problem, let's draw a diagram representing the number of trays with wheat buns.
First, we know that Mrs. Lin brings a total of 6 trays of hamburger buns.
Let's divide the diagram into three equal parts because the trays are divided into thirds.
________ ________ ________
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
|_______| |_______| |_______|
Each part represents one-third of the total trays, which is 2 trays.
Since 2/3 of the trays have wheat buns, we need to shade two of the three sections to represent that.
________ ________ ________
| / / | | / / | | / / |
| / / | | / / | | / / |
|/____/| | |/____/| | |/____/| |
Now we can see that 2 out of the 3 sections are shaded, which means that 2 out of the 6 trays of hamburger buns have wheat buns.
So, the answer is: 2 trays have wheat buns.
To solve this problem, we can start by understanding that Mrs. Lin brings 6 trays of hamburger buns. Let's represent each tray as a rectangle. We can divide the rectangle into three equal parts, since each tray can be one of three possibilities: all wheat buns, no wheat buns, or some wheat buns.
We are given that 2/3 of the trays have wheat buns. That means 2 out of every 3 trays have wheat buns. In terms of our rectangle diagram, this means that 2 out of every 3 rectangles will have some shaded area to represent the wheat buns.
Now, let's draw the diagram:
____ ____ ____
| | | | | |
|____| |____| |____|
| | | | | |
|____| | | |____|
| | | | | |
|____| |____| |____|
In this diagram, each rectangle represents a tray of hamburger buns. The shaded area represents the trays with wheat buns.
Since 2/3 of the trays have wheat buns, we can shade 2 out of every 3 rectangles:
____ ____ ____
| | | | | |
|____| |____| |____|
| | | | | |
| | | | |____|
| | | | |____|
|____| |____| |____|
From the diagram, we can see that there are 4 trays with wheat buns out of the 6 trays that Mrs. Lin brought. So the answer is that there are 4 trays with wheat buns.
