Question

janae hikes \\(\frac{2}{3}\\) of a 12 - mile trail. she wants to know how many miles she hikes. build a model to show \\(\frac{2}{3}\times12\\).

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 12 into 3 equal parts

$\frac{12}{3}=4$

Step2: Calculate 2 of those parts

$2\times4=8$

Step3: Model the trail division

Divide the 0-to-12 number line into 3 equal segments at 4 and 8. Shade the segment from 0 to 8 to represent $\frac{2}{3}$ of 12.

Answer:

Janae hikes 8 miles. For the model, divide the 0–12 number line into 3 equal parts (marked at 4 and 8) and shade the section from 0 to 8.
