Q. Steven's family is moving, so he needs to pack the dishes. Dishes break easily so he must wrap them up. He cuts a sheet of bubble wrap into 66 equal pieces. Steven uses 44 pieces to pack salad bowls.\newlineWhat fraction of the sheet of bubble wrap does Steven use to pack salad bowls?\newline____ /____
  1. Cutting Bubble Wrap: Steven cuts a sheet of bubble wrap into 66 equal pieces and uses 44 of them for the salad bowls. To find the fraction of the sheet used, divide the number of pieces used by the total number of pieces.
  2. Finding Fraction Used: Simplify the fraction 46 \frac{4}{6} by finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 44 and 66. The factors of 44 are 11, 22, 44 and the factors of 66 are 11, 22, 33, 66. The GCF is 22.
