Question 5.
There are 48 kids and 6 adults in the After-School Club, and they’re all going to the zoo this afternoon. Each van holds 7 people. How many vans will the After-School Club need for this trip?

Use numbers, labeled sketches, or words to solve this problem.
Write the answer on the line below.

The After-School Club will need ____ vans to take all 54 people to the zoo.
Answer: The number of vans that are needed for this trip is 8.
Total number of kids = 48 kids
number of adults = 6
each van holds 7 people.
number of vans required = (48 + 6 ) / 7 = 54 / 7 = 7.71 = 8 (approximately)

Fair Shares

Work with a partner to solve at least two of the three problems on this page and the next. Use numbers, words, and labeled sketches to show all of your thinking. If you solve all three and have extra time, start the challenge problem on the next page.

Question 1.
Sally and her friends Vanessa, Ellie, and Helen have 3 strips of dried fruit to share. Each strip is 1″ wide and 12″ long. If the 4 girls share the strips fairly, how much will they each get?

Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$
Number of strip of dried fruit = 3
Number of girls = 4
Therefore, each will get $\frac{3}{4}$.

Question 2.
One Saturday morning, Eduardo and his sister invited their two friends over to play. Before long, things were getting pretty noisy around the house, and Mrs. Ortega said, “If the four of you will pick up all the toys downstairs, I’ll give you $3.00 to spend at the corner store.” If the 4 kids share the $3.00 fairly, how much money will they each get?

Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$
Number of persons = 4
each person will get $3.00
Therefore, 4 kids share the $3.00 fairly, then each will get $\frac{3}{4}$

Question 3.
The gym at our school is open every evening from 5:00 to 8:00. If 4 different
basketball teams want to use the gym on Thursday evening and they agree to split the time equally, how much practice time will each team get?
Answer: $\frac{3}{4}$
Number of hours = 2
Number of different basketball teams = 4
therefore, each team wil get $\frac{3}{4}$ hours.

Question 4.
CHALLENGE The coach took us out for pizza after our last game. There were 14 of us, so we had to split up and sit at different tables. Six of us sat at one table and got 4 medium pizzas to share equally. The other 8 of us sat at a different table and got 6 medium pizzas to share equally. Afterwards, Keira said it wasn’t fair because some kids got more pizza than others. Do you agree with her? Use numbers, words, or labeled sketches to explain your answer.

Answer: Yes I will agree with Keira
number of pieces of medium pizza = 6
first group:
Number of pizzas = 4
Number of total pizza pieces = 6 x 4 = 24
Number of people = 6
Therefore, each person will get = 24 / 6 = 4
second group:
Number of pizzas = 6
Number of total pizza pieces = 6 x 6 = 36
Number of people = 8
Therefore, each person will get = 36 / 8 = 4.5
therefore, keira is correct.

Share & Share Alike

Question 1.
Solve each problem below. Show your work using numbers, labeled sketches, or words.

a. Carmen has four cookies. Her friend Elisa joins her. Carmen shares her cookies evenly with her friend. How many cookies does each girl each get?
Answer: 2 cookies each one get
Number of cookies Carmen has = 4
Carmen shares her cookies evenly with her friend.
therefore, number of people for sharing = 2
cookies does each girl each get = 4 / 2 = 2

b. Carmen and Elisa are about to eat the cookies when Sam and Michael join them. Carmen and Elisa share the cookies evenly with Sam and Michael. How many cookies does each person get?
Answer: 1 cookie each
Number of cookies Carmen has = 4
therefore, number of people for sharing = 4
cookies does each girl each get = 4 / 4 = 1

c. The group is about to eat their cookies when four more friends join them. Carmen collects the cookies and divides them evenly between all eight people. How many cookies does each person get?
Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$ cookies get each
Number of cookies Carmen has = 4
therefore, number of people for sharing = 8
cookies does each girl each get = 4 / 8 = $\frac{1}{2}$

d. The cookies are eaten by the eight people. Imagine, though, that eight more people joined the group before they ate the cookies, and they all shared the cookies evenly. How much would each person have been given?
Answer: $\frac{1}{4}$ cookies each get
Number of cookies Carmen has = 4
therefore, number of people for sharing = 16
cookies does each girl each get = 4 / 16 = $\frac{1}{4}$

Question 2.

a 20 × 35 = 2 × _____
Answer: 350
20 x 35 = 700
2 x 350 = 700

b. 10 × ____ = 10 × 5 × 3
Answer: 15
10 x 5 x 3 = 150
10 x 15 = 150

c. ___ × 30 = 9 × 100
Answer: 30
9 x 100 = 900
30 x 30 = 900

Question 2.
For each of the problems on this page:

Solve the problem and show your thinking with numbers, words, or labeled sketches. Use your fraction pieces to help if you want.
If the answer turns out to be an improper fraction (like $\frac{3}{2}$ or $\frac{7}{4}$) rename it as a mixed number (like 1$\frac{1}{2}$ or 1$\frac{3}{4}$).

a. Carlos and his mom went out on a bike ride. They rode $\frac{5}{8}$ of a mile to the park, and then $\frac{5}{8}$ of a mile back home. How far did they ride in all?

Answer: $\frac{10}{8}$
rode $\frac{5}{8}$ of a mile to the park
$\frac{5}{8}$ of a mile back home
Total distance he travelled = distance travelled to park + distance travelled to home
= $\frac{5}{8}$ + $\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{10}{8}$

b. It takes $\frac{3}{4}$ of a cup of orange juice to make 1 smoothie. Erin wants to make 2 smoothies. How much orange juice will she need?

Answer: $\frac{6}{4}$
Number of smoothies Erin wants = 2
Orange juice required for one smoothie = $\frac{3}{4}$
Therefore, orange juice required for two smoothies = $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{6}{4}$

Modeling Egg Carton Fractions

Question 1.
Use your egg carton diagram, string, and tiles to build a model of each fraction. Then draw a sketch of each fraction in the tables.

Answer:

The given fractions are all indicated in red color in the above figure.

Question 2.
What observations can you make about $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ ?
Answer: $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5
$\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5
In $\frac{3}{6}$ we are taking 3 parts from total 6 parts. But where as in $\frac{2}{4}$ we are using 2 parts from total 4 parts.
So we are using half of the amount in total amount.

Question 3.
Which is more, $\frac{1}{4}$ of a dozen or $\frac{1}{3}$ of a dozen? _____

a. How do you know?
Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$ is more
$\frac{1}{4}$ = 0.25
$\frac{1}{3}$ = 0.334
As 0.334 is more than 0.25. Hence $\frac{1}{3}$ is more than $\frac{1}{4}$
