Denominator Dilemma, Part 2



            When Kasey got home he mom greeted her at the door.  “How was lunch?” Mom asked.
            “Fun.  We talked about math.”
            “Talking about math is fun?” Mom said in a disbelieving voice.
            “Yeah.  Listen to what happened,” said Kasey and she told her mom the whole story.
            Unbeknownst to Kasey, her smarty-pants brother was in the next room and he heard every word.  Just like the waitress, he said, “I’m great at math and I know the answer.  It’s ¾.”
           
            At first, Kasey didn’t believe her brother but he said he could prove it by drawing a diagram.

Draw Kasey’s brother’s diagram and continue the story by writing his explanation.
