Example: Divide 3 loaves between 5 people First, divide two of the loaves into thirds... each person gets one third each, with one third left over Then divide the left-over third from the second loaf into fifths So, each person gets: 1/5 and the third loaf into fifths each person gets one fifth each each person gets a slice (one fifteenth) 1/15 3/5 The Egyptians used the approximated process to work on the area of a circle as shown in the picture. 1.4 Show the representation of the fractions on the second row. (2) 1.5 Show the algorithm/abstract strategy to justify the 3/5 found as the answer. (3)
