12. MP Use Structure A chunk of honeycomb is made up of
    8 hexagons. A beekeeper cuts out of the honeycomb. In a
    visual model for this situation:
    How many wholes do you need?
    Into how many sections do you haveto divide each whole?

To visualize the situation, we need to represent the entire honeycomb as 1 whole, which consists of 8 hexagons. Since of the honeycomb is cut out, we should think in terms of how many wholes it takes to represent this fraction. Essentially, we need 16 sections when visualizing as a whole, so effectively, we have 16 sections in total, but only 13 of those sections represent the part that’s cut out.

Thus, to represent 12.8 hexagons, we can divide each of the 8 hexagons into 2 sections, making a total of 16 sections. You will need 1 whole made up of those sections, and each whole will be divided into 2 parts, leading us perfectly to our visualization goal!
