Hello, so here you want to make up a word problem using two thirds times two fifths.
00:06
So let's say we have maybe a pan of lasagna and maybe two fifths is gone.
00:13
And now we want to say, what is two thirds of two fifths of, let's say the pan of lasagna? so we can make a picture of that, right? so here we can see this is, well, this is two fifths.
00:23
We have our pan of lasagna and then we divide this into five equal pieces and then i'm shading two of them red.
00:29
So the two pieces here is two pieces of size one fifth.
00:34
So there's two -fifths.
00:35
Now we want to say what is two -thirds times two -fifths can be thought of as two -thirds of two -fifths.
00:40
So what is two -thirds of two -fifths? well, we just take our pan, and now we just wanted to divide this into three equal pieces because we have thirds.
00:48
So if we divide this into three equal pieces going the other way, let's say these are equal pieces.
00:54
And now we want to say what is, well, two -thirds of two -fifths...
