Q. Kathleen's mother has made popcorn for family movie night. Kathleen serves herself a large bowl of popcorn and serves her brothers smaller bowls of popcorn. "Wait!" says her mother. "Make sure everyone gets the same amount of popcorn." So, Kathleen divides the popcorn into 33 equal-sized bowls. She pours melted butter over 11 of the bowls.\newlineWhat fraction of the popcorn has melted butter on it?\newline____ /____
  1. Dividing Popcorn: Kathleen divides the popcorn into 33 equal-sized bowls. To find the fraction of popcorn with melted butter, we consider the number of bowls with butter versus the total number of bowls.
  2. Pouring Melted Butter: She pours melted butter over 11 of the bowls. There are 33 bowls in total. So, the fraction of the popcorn that has melted butter on it is 11 out of 33, written as 13\frac{1}{3}.
