Jason was asked by his teacher to draw a figure that will represent thirteen-eighths on the board. If he wants to use a circle as the figure, into how many equal parts will he divide the circle
Jason will need to divide the circle into eight equal parts.
but the bot is right
To represent thirteen-eighths using a circle, Jason needs to divide the circle into equal parts.
To determine the number of equal parts, we can use the concept of fractions. The fraction thirteen-eighths can be written as 13/8.
To divide the circle into equal parts, we need to find a common denominator for the fraction. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
Dividing the circle into 8 equal parts will give us eighths. Since we need thirteen-eighths, Jason will have to divide the circle into 8 parts and shade thirteen of those parts.
Therefore, Jason should divide the circle into 8 equal parts to represent thirteen-eighths.
I disagree with the answer given by the robot tutor.
since you want to represent 13/8 , you would need 2 circles, each one
divided into 8 equal parts. One circle won't do it.
