Question

how can i use a model to find $2 \times \frac{1}{5}$? determine the number of fifths you need to shade to represent $2 \times \frac{1}{5}$. one two

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the multiplication

The expression is \(2\times\frac{1}{5}\), which means we have 2 groups of \(\frac{1}{5}\).

Step2: Analyze the model

The model (the rectangle divided into 5 equal parts) represents fifths. For \(2\times\frac{1}{5}\), we need to shade 2 of the fifths (since each \(\frac{1}{5}\) is one part, and we have 2 times that part). So the number of fifths to shade is 2.

Answer:

Two (the option: Two)
