Turn and Talk A student said that she could verify her answer by multiplying $$\frac{1}{3}$$ × $$\frac{1}{2}$$. Do you agree? Why or why not?
Agree,

Explanation:
Given a student said that she could verify her answer by
multiplying $$\frac{1}{3}$$ × $$\frac{1}{2}$$
I agree because commutative property of multiplication,
a X b = b X a so if it is $$\frac{1}{3}$$ × $$\frac{1}{2}$$ also
we get $$\frac{1}{3 X 2}$$ = $$\frac{1}{6}$$ value only.

C. How much of her homework does Darsha complete each minute?
$$\frac{1}{12}$$ of her work,

Explanation:
As t = $$\frac{1}{3}$$ ÷ 4 =
$$\frac{1}{3}$$ X $$\frac{1}{4}$$ =
$$\frac{1}{3 X 4}$$ = $$\frac{1}{12}$$,
Therefore each minute Darsha completes $$\frac{1}{12}$$
homework.
Turn and Talk Why do you need to divide the whole number line into equal lengths and not just $$\frac{1}{3}$$ of it?
As $$\frac{1}{3}$$ is on the whole number line
numerator is 1 shows whole and denominator 3 which is
bottom of fraction 3 shows number on parts on the number line,
We consider whole number line,
