Money & Fractions

Note: You can use the money value pieces to help solve these problems if you like.

Question 1.
Write each amount as a decimal.
a. 2 quarters = _____
b. 3 dimes and 5 pennies = _____
Answer:
a. 2 quarters = 0.5
b. 3 dimes and 5 pennies = 0.35

Explanation:
We know that,
1 quarter = 25 cents.
So, 2 quarters = 50 cents.
$1 = 100 cents.
50 cents in decimals = 0.5
We know that,
1 dime = 10 cents and 1 penny = 1 cent.
So, 3 dimes and 5 pennies = 3 x 10 + 5 x 1 = 35 cents.
$1 = 100 cents.
35 cents in decimals = 0.35

Question 2.
Write each amount as a fraction of a dollar.
a. 3 quarters = _____
b. 7 dimes = _____
Answer:
a. 3 quarters = $ \(\frac{3}{4}\)
b. 7 dimes = $\(\frac{7}{10}\)

Explanation:
We know that,
1 quarter = 25 cents.
3 quarters = 75 cents.
$1 = 100 cents.
75 cents in fraction = \(\frac{75}{100}\) or \(\frac{3}{4}\)
We know that,
1 dime = 10 cents
7 dimes 7 x 10 = 70 cents.
So, fraction of 7 dimes in dollars = \(\frac{70}{100}\) or \(\frac{7}{10}\)

Question 3.
Use numbers, labeled sketches, or words to show your work.
a. Mila has \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a dollar. Claire has \(\frac{1}{4}\) of a dollar. How much money do the girls have together? Record your answer as a fraction and as a decimal.
Answer:
\(\frac{3}{4}\) and 0.75

Explanation:
Given that,
Mila has \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a dollar.
Claire has \(\frac{1}{4}\) of a dollar.
Total money do the girls have together, \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Take the L.C.M for 2 and 4 as 4.
\(\frac{(1 × 2) + (1 × 1)}{4}\)= \(\frac{2 + 1}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) dollars.
Answer as a decimal = 0.75.

b. Henry has 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) dollars. Angel has 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) dollars. How much money do the boys have together? Record your answer as a fraction and as a decimal.
Answer:
\(\frac{11}{4}\) and 2.75

Explanation:
Given that,
Henry has 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) dollars.
Angel has 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) dollars.
Total money do the boys have together,
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) + 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\) + \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Take L.C.M for 4 and 2 as 4
\(\frac{(5 × 1) + (3 × 2)}{4}\) = \(\frac{5 + 6}{4}\) = \(\frac{11}{4}\) dollars.
answer as a decimal = 2.75

C. CHALLENGE Iris has 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) dollars. Violet has 2\(\frac{5}{10}\) dollars. How much money do the girls have together? Record your answer as a fraction and as a decimal.
Answer:
\(\frac{41}{10}\) and 4.1

Explanation:
Given that,
Iris has 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) dollars.
Violet has 2\(\frac{5}{10}\) dollars.
Total money do the girls have together = 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) + 2\(\frac{5}{10}\)
Convert to improper fraction.
\(\frac{8}{5}\) + \(\frac{25}{10}\)
Take the L.C.M of 5 and 10 as 10
\(\frac{(8 × 2) + (25 × 1)}{10}\) = \(\frac{16 + 25}{10}\) = \(\frac{41}{10}\)
Answer as a decimal = 4.1.

Answer:
The numerator must be greater than 16.

Explanation:
Given that, a certain fraction is greater than 2.
Thus, if the numerator and denominator are x and y respectively, then we have;
\(\frac{x}{y}\) > 2
We are further told that the denominator is 8.
Thus; \(\frac{x}{8}\) > 2
Multiply both sides by 8 to give;
x > 16
Hence, the numerator must be greater than 16.

Work Place Instructions 2A Clock Fractions

Each pair of players needs:

  • Two 2A Clock Fractions Record Sheets
  • 1 spinner overlay
  • colored pencils in several colors
  • regular pencils

1. Player 1 spins both spinners and writes the two fractions as an addition expression under the words “Equations for Each Turn.”
2. Then Player 1

  • shades in both fractions on his first clock, using a different color for each fraction.
  • labels each fraction
  • records the sum of the two fractions to finish the equation for that turn.

Three fourths is the same as nine twelfths, so I’m shading in nine twelfths red. One sixth is the same as two twelfths, so I’m shading in two twelfths green. These two shaded parts add up to eleven twelfths, so 3/4 + 1/6 = 11/12.
Bridges in Mathematics Grade 5 Student Book Unit 2 Module 1 Answer Key 22

3. Both players check the work to make sure that Player 1 shaded and labeled the fractions and wrote the equation correctly.
4. Player 2 takes her turn and both players check her work.
5. Players do not move on to the next clock until a clock is completely filled. However, if a clock is nearly filled and a player spins a fraction that is too big for it, the player can split the fraction to complete the first clock and put the rest of the fraction in the next clock.
6. When a clock is completely filled, players write an equation that shows the fractions in the clock on the line underneath the clock.
7. The first player to completely fill all three clocks wins the game.
If a player spins a fraction that is too big for the third clock, she loses that turn. Players must fill the last clock with the exact fraction needed. For example, if a player’s third clock has 1/12 to fill in, the player has to spin 1/12 to complete the clock.

Game Variations

A. Players can shorten the game by filling only two clocks or lengthen the game by drawing another clock.
B. Players can work together to complete one record sheet, discussing each move and representation.
