You are choosing 18 CDs to take to a party. You want two-thirds of the CDs to have
dance music. How many dance music CDs should you choose?
Multiplying Fractions using an Array (Model)
You have 15 CDs. Each CD case is three-eighths inch wide. Estimate how wide a space you need on a CD rack to fit all 15 CDs.
Space = x 15
Space = x 16
Space = 6 Think: of 16 is 2, so multiply 2
by 3 for 6.
