Example Question #1 : Interpret The Product (A/B) × Q As A Part Of A Partition Of Q Into B Equal Parts: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.B.4a

Beatrice has six cats. Each cat eats $\frac{2}{3}$ of a can of cat food each day. Set up a mathematical equation to find the number of cans of cat food that Beatrice goes through each day to feed all six of her cats.

Possible Answers:

$6\ cats\times \frac{3}{2}\ can\ per\ cat=6\times \frac{3}{2}=\frac{18}{2}=9\ cans\ per\ day$

$6\ cats+ \frac{2}{3}\ can\ per\ cat=6+ \frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{3}\ cans\ per\ day$

$6\ cats\times \frac{2}{3}\ can\ per\ cat=6\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{12}{3}=9\ cans\ per\ day$

$6\ cats\times \frac{2}{3}\ can\ per\ cat=6\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{12}{3}=4\ cans\ per\ day$

$6\ cats\times \frac{2}{3}\ can\ per\ cat=6\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{18}{3}=6\ cans\ per\ day$

Correct answer:

$6\ cats\times \frac{2}{3}\ can\ per\ cat=6\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{12}{3}=4\ cans\ per\ day$
