3) Nicole and her brother ate an afternoon snack of popcorn when they came home from the park. Nicole ate cup of popcorn and her brother ate cup of popcorn. If there were cups of popcorn in the container before their snack, how many cups were left after they finished?

3. Section 6: Using Long Division
Mr. Simpson told his math class that when converting fractions to decimals using long division, patterns often emerge which make the conversions easier. He said that a pattern can be seen when converting fractions with a denominator of 11. Part A: Convert the fraction Part B: Convert the fraction Part B: Convert the fraction to a decimal using long division to a decimal using long division to a decimal using long division Part D: Convert the fraction to a decimal without using long division. The time, find the pattern that Mr. Simpson was referring to. Explain your reasoning for choosing the decimal that you did.
