What is 1/3 times 2??

2/3 cuz 1x1 is 2 and the denominator stays the same which is 3.

so its 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

he bought 1 and 1/2 pounds of meat. (also could be written as 1.5 pounds)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Tim bought all of the two 3/4 lb packages for a party.

Then he bought 2 packages. Such that each package has  3/4 lb meat.

Then the total amount of meat that Tim has is equal to 2 times the amount of meat in each package, this is:

Total meat = 2*(3/4 lb) = (6/4 lb)

and we can write 6 = 4 + 2

then:

Total meat =  6/4  lb = (4 + 2)/4  lb = (4/4 + 2/4) lb = (1 + 1/2) lb

So he bought 1 and 1/2 pounds of meat. (also could be written as 1.5 pounds)
