Offset, draw a rectangle. Then, await at the first fraction in the expression and separate the height of the rectangle by the denominator.

Step two

Utilize the numerator to determine how many parts that need to be shaded in.

Pace 3

Side by side, nosotros dissever the width of the rectangle up by using the number in the denominator of the second fraction.

Step 4

Now we apply the numerator to decide how many parts that need to be shaded in. I recommend using a different pattern or color to shade in the second fraction!

Count up how many parts are in the whole rectangle and that is the denominator.
