Plug In to solve this problem. When working with fractions, a good number to Plug In is the product of the denominators. The fractions used in the problem are 1/3 and 1/2 , so Plug In 3 × 2 = 6 for the number of paintings Sadie started with. Sadie started with 6 paintings and gave away one-third of them: 6 * 1/3 = 2. She has 4 paintings left. She then sold another half of the original 6: 6 × 1/2 =3 So, she has 1 painting left, or 1/6 of the total.
