BRANCH A

Use this method when you see 'of the remainder' or 'of the remaining'.
One way to do this is to draw models but it's slow when the numbers
get bigger or more difficult. This method uses diagrams.
Before you start, you need to already know how to
add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions.
