Question

Charmaine's penny bank is 1/6 full. After she adds 440 pennies, it is 2/3 full. How many pennies can Charmaine's bank hold?

Answer 1

So 2/3 = 4/6
If we subtract 4/6 - 1/6, we get 3/6.
So that means the 440 pennies she added is 3/6 or 1/2 the bank.

If 440 is 1/2 the jar, how much can the jar hold?

Answer 2

880

Answer 3

Yes
