Question

The missing number from the given expression using the tape model is .

• A. $\frac{1}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{6}$

The tape model is divided equally into 6 parts.

Among 6 parts, 3 parts are shaded that represents $\frac{1}{2}$.

From the given expression, we have to divide $\frac{1}{2}$ into 3 parts.

$\frac{1}{2}$ $÷$ 3 = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, each shaded part represents $\frac{1}{6}$.

Therefore, the missing number is $\frac{1}{6}$.
