Question

which expressions can you use to find how many bracelets sami gets? choose all the correct answers.\\(\frac{1}{3} \times 6\\) \\(3 \times \frac{1}{6}\\) \\(6 \div 3\\) \\(3 \times 6\\) \\(3 \div 6\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the scenario

Assume there are 6 total bracelets, and Sami gets $\frac{1}{3}$ of them, or we split 6 bracelets into 3 equal groups and Sami gets 1 group.

Step2: Evaluate $\frac{1}{3} \times 6$

This calculates $\frac{1}{3}$ of 6. $\frac{1}{3} \times 6 = 2$

Step3: Evaluate $3 \times \frac{1}{6}$

This calculates 3 times $\frac{1}{6}$, which equals $\frac{3}{6} = 0.5$, which does not make sense for whole bracelets.

Step4: Evaluate $6 \div 3$

This splits 6 bracelets into 3 equal groups, each group has 2 bracelets. $6 \div 3 = 2$

Step5: Evaluate $3 \times 6$

This would be 18, which is more than total bracelets, so incorrect.

Step6: Evaluate $3 \div 6$

This equals $0.5$, which does not make sense for whole bracelets.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3} \times 6$, $6 \div 3$
