Question

what is the missing number that is represented by the model? \\(4 \times \frac{1}{6} = \square\\)

\\(\bigcirc \frac{6}{6}\\)

\\(\bigcirc 4\frac{1}{6}\\)

\\(\bigcirc \frac{5}{6}\\)

\\(\bigcirc \frac{4}{6}\\)

Explanation:

Identify the given expression

$$ 4 \times \frac{1}{6} = \square $$

Calculate the product

$$ 4 \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4 \times 1}{6} = \frac{4}{6} $$

Match with the visual model

The model shows a bar divided into 6 equal parts, with 4 parts shaded blue, representing:

$$ \frac{4}{6} $$

Answer:

• (A) \(\frac{6}{6}\)
• (B) \(4\frac{1}{6}\)
• (C) \(\frac{5}{6}\)
• (D) \(\frac{4}{6}\) (Correct answer)
