1. DeSean is sorting his rock collection, \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the rocks are metamorphic, and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the remainder are igneous

DeSean is on an adventurous journey through his rock collection! Did you know that metamorphic rocks are formed under heat and pressure? They can transform from sedimentary or igneous rocks, which makes them quite fascinating! As for igneous rocks, they result from cooled and solidified molten material—so it’s like having a piece of ancient lava right in your hands! Now, let’s get to the problem-solving aspect! A common mistake when sorting proportions can be forgetting to calculate the remainder correctly. After identifying \( \frac{2}{3} \) as metamorphic rocks, remember to calculate the total rocks first, then figure out the remainder before applying the \( \frac{3}{4} \) for the igneous rocks. Keep track of those fractions to avoid confusion!
