Andy divided his 1/3 jar of paint equally between two projects what fraction of a jar of paint did Andy use for each project explain how to draw a model to find the answer

Verified Answer :

For this question, you should draw out the 1/3 model. Then split each third into two. Next, you have to put that into two projects which in the end gives you 1/6.

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original part of paint in the jar = \(\frac{1}{3}\),

If this part is divided into two parts,

Then the part of paint in each project = \(\frac{\text{Original part of paint}}{2}\)

\(=\frac{1/3}{2}\)

\(=\frac{1}{6}\)

By below model :

Take a grid having three boxes such that each box represents 1/3,

Divide one box into 2 parts,

This part is 1/6th of the whole grid.
