Find Part of a Group

Lauren bought 12 stamps for postcards.

She gave Brianna 1_6 of them. How many
stamps did Lauren give to Brianna?

Find _1 of 12.

Step 1 What is the denominator in the fraction
of the stamps Lauren gave to Brianna? 6
So, divide the 12 stamps into 6 equal groups. Circle the groups.

1 of the stamps.
Step 2 Each group represents _
6
How many stamps are in 1 group? 2

Step 2 Since the denominator of the factor 1_3 is 3,
divide the rectangle into 3 equal rows.
Shade 1_3 of the 4_5 you already shaded.

The rectangle is divided into 15 smaller

rectangles. This is the denominator of the
product.

There are 4 smaller rectangles that contain

of the factor 2

• Shade 2 of 3 sections in each to represent the factor _ 2.

_ 3 2 is greater than _

• Draw a rectangle. Divide it into 6 equal columns.
