Celeste completed 5/6 of her science problems. Her mom checked 2/3 of the assignment. What fraction of the assignment did her mom check?
To figure out what fraction of the assignment her mom checked, first, we need to determine what fraction of the assignment Celeste completed. Since she completed 5/6 of the science problems, this means Celeste completed 5 out of 6 parts.
To find out what fraction her mom checked, we need to determine how many parts of the assignment Celeste's mom checked. Since she checked 2/3 of the assignment. Thus, her mom checked 2 out of 3 parts.
So, the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked is 2/6.
Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 2/6 of the assignment.

To find the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of problems Celeste completed (5/6) by the fraction of problems her mom checked.
So, the fraction her mom checked = (5/6) * (2/3).
Multiplying the numerators and denominators gives: (5 * 2) / (6 * 3).
This simplifies to: 10/18.
Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 10/18 or 5/9 of the assignment.
To find the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of problems Celeste completed by the fraction of problems her mom checked.
The fraction of problems Celeste completed is 5/6.
The fraction of problems her mom checked is 2/3.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.
5/6 x 2/3 = (5 x 2)/(6 x 3) = 10/18.
Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 10/18 of the assignment.
