Answer 1

Answer:

The string is 2/3 of a meter, that is also 4/6 of a meter. You want to have a piece that is 1/2 meter long, that is also 3/6 of a meter. So 4/6 take away 1/6 will leave behind 3/6, which is 1/2. And since your original string was 4/6 of a meter you want to remove one fourth of the original length of 4/6, because mathematically 1/4 of 4/6 = 1/6. So you have removed 1/4 of the original string you are left with 3/4 of the original string.
