0:00:00.680,0:00:06.100
For an art project, a pentagon[br]made of construction paper is

0:00:06.100,0:00:09.180
cut into five equal slices.

0:00:09.180,0:00:11.210
Two of the slices are removed.

0:00:11.210,0:00:14.540
Write the remaining portion of[br]the pentagon as a fraction.

0:00:14.540,0:00:16.360
So let's draw ourselves[br]a pentagon.

0:00:16.360,0:00:20.060
A pentagon is just a five-sided[br]figure, so

0:00:20.060,0:00:22.010
it looks like this.

0:00:22.010,0:00:24.770
It's also where the Department[br]of Defense is located, a

0:00:24.770,0:00:26.450
building that's actually[br]in this shape.

0:00:26.450,0:00:28.950
That's why they call[br]it the Pentagon.

0:00:28.950,0:00:32.420
Let me draw it a little[br]nicer than that.

0:00:32.420,0:00:36.050
It looks something like this.

0:00:36.050,0:00:37.400
Eh!

0:00:37.400,0:00:39.980
My pentagon drawing skills[br]need some work.

0:00:39.980,0:00:43.070


0:00:43.070,0:00:43.840
There you go.

0:00:43.840,0:00:45.990
That's a pretty decent[br]shot at a pentagon.

0:00:45.990,0:00:48.480
So that's the pentagon made[br]out of construction paper.

0:00:48.480,0:00:51.140
Notice it has one, two, three,[br]four, five sides.

0:00:51.140,0:00:52.310
That's why it's called[br]a pentagon.

0:00:52.310,0:00:57.840
And it's cut into five equals[br]slices, so we could do that.

0:00:57.840,0:01:00.560
Maybe that's the center[br]of the pentagon.

0:01:00.560,0:01:03.270
Here this is one slice[br]right there.

0:01:03.270,0:01:08.690
That is two slices, three[br]slices, four slices, and then

0:01:08.690,0:01:10.070
a fifth slice, so you[br]can imagine these

0:01:10.070,0:01:11.970
are all equal slices.

0:01:11.970,0:01:14.736
Now, they're saying two of[br]the slices are removed.

0:01:14.736,0:01:18.890


0:01:18.890,0:01:21.310
So let's get rid of two[br]of these slices.

0:01:21.310,0:01:25.510
Let's say we remove that[br]slice up there.

0:01:25.510,0:01:27.750
Let's say we remove the[br]slice right next to

0:01:27.750,0:01:29.990
it right over there.

0:01:29.990,0:01:33.740
And then they want us to write[br]the remaining portion of the

0:01:33.740,0:01:34.990
pentagon as a fraction.

0:01:34.990,0:01:39.120


0:01:39.120,0:01:41.110
So what are the remaining[br]slices?

0:01:41.110,0:01:45.340
Well, I have this slice right[br]there, that slice right over

0:01:45.340,0:01:47.390
here and then this slice.

0:01:47.390,0:01:54.960
So you have three slices[br]remaining out of a total

0:01:54.960,0:01:56.610
possible of how many?

0:01:56.610,0:02:00.190
How many slices are in[br]the entire pentagon?

0:02:00.190,0:02:05.870
So if you look at the entire[br]pentagon, if you consider all

0:02:05.870,0:02:08.630
of the slices, we have[br]five slices.

0:02:08.630,0:02:12.120
So if you consider the entire[br]pentagon, it is made up of

0:02:12.120,0:02:14.680
five total slices.

0:02:14.680,0:02:21.670
So it's three remaining out of[br]five total slices, so you

0:02:21.670,0:02:35.590
could say that 3/5 of[br]the pentagon remain.

0:02:35.590,0:02:38.170
Or you could say 2/5[br]were removed.

0:02:38.170,0:02:42.070
That's two of the five slices[br]were removed, and then three

0:02:42.070,0:02:46.410
are remaining, or 3/5 of[br]the pentagon remain.

0:02:46.410,0:02:46.934
