Explain how you would model 5 x 2/3.

See below .

Step-by-step explanation:

How about this?

(a) Model 5× ⅔

Draw five rectangles, each divided into three squares.

In each rectangle, shade in two of the  squares.

Your diagram (the first figure below) models 5 × ⅔.

(b) Model the result

Remove the ten squares to fill as many rectangles as possible.

You will get three filled rectangles and one with only one square filled.

The second image below models the result: 5 × ⅔ = 3⅓.

a. is correct
