Answer 1

There is 1/3 gallon of water in a 3 gallon container. What fraction of the container is full?

DIVISION:

1

-----

3

---------------- = 1/3 / 3/1 = 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9

3

ONE-THIRD OF A GALLON DIVIDED BY 3 GALLONS EQUALS ONE-NINTH.

THE CONTAINER IS ONE-NINTH FULL.

MULTIPLICATION:

1 1 1

------- x ------- = ------

3 3 9

ONE-THIRD OF A GALLON TIMES ONE-THIRD OF THE CONTAINER

EQUALS ONE-NINTH FULL.
