00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,680


2
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,099
For an art project, a pentagon made of construction paper is

3
00:00:06,099 --> 00:00:09,179
cut into five equal slices.

4
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:11,209
Two of the slices are removed.

5
00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:14,540
Write the remaining portion of the pentagon as a fraction.

6
00:00:14,539 --> 00:00:16,359
So let's draw ourselves a pentagon.

7
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:20,059
A pentagon is just a five-sided figure, so

8
00:00:20,059 --> 00:00:22,009
it looks like this.

9
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:24,770
It's also where the Department of Defense is located, a

10
00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:26,449
building that's actually in this shape.

11
00:00:26,449 --> 00:00:28,949
That's why they call it the Pentagon.

12
00:00:28,949 --> 00:00:32,420
Let me draw it a little nicer than that.

13
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:36,050
It looks something like this.

14
00:00:36,049 --> 00:00:37,399
Eh!

15
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:39,979
My pentagon drawing skills need some work.

16
00:00:39,979 --> 00:00:43,069


17
00:00:43,070 --> 00:00:43,840
There you go.

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,990
That's a pretty decent shot at a pentagon.

19
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:48,480
So that's the pentagon made out of construction paper.

20
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,140
Notice it has one, two, three, four, five sides.

21
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:52,310
That's why it's called a pentagon.

22
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:57,840
And it's cut into five equals slices, so we could do that.

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Maybe that's the center of the pentagon.

24
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,270
Here this is one slice right there.

25
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:08,689
That is two slices, three slices, four slices, and then

26
00:01:08,689 --> 00:01:10,069
a fifth slice, so you can imagine these

27
00:01:10,069 --> 00:01:11,969
are all equal slices.

28
00:01:11,969 --> 00:01:14,736
Now, they're saying two of the slices are removed.

29
00:01:14,736 --> 00:01:18,890


30
00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:21,310
So let's get rid of two of these slices.

31
00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:25,510
Let's say we remove that slice up there.

32
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:27,750
Let's say we remove the slice right next to

33
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:29,989
it right over there.

34
00:01:29,989 --> 00:01:33,739
And then they want us to write the remaining portion of the

35
00:01:33,739 --> 00:01:34,989
pentagon as a fraction.

36
00:01:34,989 --> 00:01:39,119


37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,109
So what are the remaining slices?

38
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:45,340
Well, I have this slice right there, that slice right over

39
00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:47,390
here and then this slice.

40
00:01:47,390 --> 00:01:54,960
So you have three slices remaining out of a total

41
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:56,609
possible of how many?

42
00:01:56,609 --> 00:02:00,189
How many slices are in the entire pentagon?

43
00:02:00,189 --> 00:02:05,870
So if you look at the entire pentagon, if you consider all

44
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:08,629
of the slices, we have five slices.

45
00:02:08,629 --> 00:02:12,120
So if you consider the entire pentagon, it is made up of

46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,680
five total slices.

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,670
So it's three remaining out of five total slices, so you

48
00:02:21,669 --> 00:02:35,589
could say that 3/5 of the pentagon remain.

49
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:38,170
Or you could say 2/5 were removed.

50
00:02:38,169 --> 00:02:42,069
That's two of the five slices were removed, and then three

51
00:02:42,069 --> 00:02:46,409
are remaining, or 3/5 of the pentagon remain.

52
00:02:46,409 --> 00:02:46,933
