Math Journal
Rachel drew a model to solve this problem:
Earl pours \(\frac{1}{3}\) of a bottle of juice into his glass. Roberto pours \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the remainder into his glass. What fraction of the bottle of juice is left?
\(\frac{1}{3}\) of the bottle of juice is left.
Did Rachel solve the problem correctly? Explain.
Answer:
Yes. Rachel solve the problem correctly
Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
1 – \(\frac{2}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Challenging Practice
An art teacher has a box of markers. She keeps half of the markers in the box and gives \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the other half to group A. The remaining markers were shared equally among the 8 students in group B. What fraction of the whole box does each of the students in group B get?
Answer:
She keeps\(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\frac{3}{6}\) in the box, gives \(\frac{1}{3}\) of half (\(\frac{1}{6}\) of box) to
Group A., the remaining \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a half box (\(\frac{2}{6}\) of box) to Group B.
Each student gets \(\frac{1}{8}\) of \(\frac{2}{6}\) of the box:
.
\(\frac{1}{8}\) x \(\frac{2}{6}\) = \(\frac{2}{48}\) = \(\frac{1}{24}\)
Explanation:
Each Group B student gets \(\frac{1}{24}\) of the box.
