Lin has 9 plates. She puts 1 4 \frac14 4 1 of a sandwich on each plate.
Which expression represents the sandwiches in this situation?
9 × 4 9 \times 4 9 × 4
9 × 1 4 9 \times \frac{1}{4} 9 × 4 1
4 × 9 4 \times 9 4 × 9
4 × 1 9 4 \times \frac {1}{9} 4 × 9 1
How many sandwiches did Lin put on plates? Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution
B
9 4 \frac{9}{4} 4 9 sandwiches or 2 1 4 2\frac{1}{4} 2 4 1 sandwiches. Sample responses:
A diagram showing 9 groups of 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 .
I counted by 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 nine times.
I know 4 groups of 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 sandwiches is 1 whole sandwich, so 8 groups of 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 sandwiches make 2 whole sandwiches. Adding 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 sandwich makes 2 1 4 2\frac{1}{4} 2 4 1 .

Write a multiplication expression to represent the shaded parts of the diagram. Then find its value. Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution 6 × 1 12 6 \times \frac{1}{12} 6 × 12 1 . Its value is 6 12 \frac{6}{12} 12 6 . Sample response:
There are 6 equal groups of 1 12 \frac{1}{12} 12 1 .
I counted by 1 12 \frac{1}{12} 12 1 six times.
If all the shaded parts are moved to a single rectangle that represents 1 whole, they would take up 6 parts, which represent 6 12 \frac{6}{12} 12 6 .

5 × 1 8 = 5 8 5 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8} 5 × 8 1 = 8 5 , five groups of 1 eighth make 5 eighths.
7 × 1 3 = 7 3 7 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} 7 × 3 1 = 3 7 , because I drew a diagram showing 7 groups of 1 3 \frac{1}{3} 3 1 .

1 4 + 2 4 + 4 4 = 7 4 \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} + \frac{4}{4} = \frac{7}{4} 4 1 + 4 2 + 4 4 = 4 7
6 4 + 1 4 = 7 4 \frac{6}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4} 4 6 + 4 1 = 4 7

Show Solution
7 6 \frac{7}{6} 6 7 or 1 1 6 1\frac{1}{6} 1 6 1 . Sample response:
2 − 5 6 = 12 6 − 5 6 = 7 6 2 - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{12}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{7}{6} 2 − 6 5 = 6 12 − 6 5 = 6 7
2 − 5 6 = ( 1 + 6 6 ) − 5 6 = 1 + ( 6 6 − 5 6 ) = 1 + 1 6 = 1 1 6 2 - \frac{5}{6} = \left(1 + \frac{6}{6}\right) - \frac{5}{6} = 1 + \left(\frac{6}{6} - \frac{5}{6}\right) = 1 + \frac{1}{6} = 1\frac{1}{6} 2 − 6 5 = ( 1 + 6 6 ) − 6 5 = 1 + ( 6 6 − 6 5 ) = 1 + 6 1 = 1 6 1
13 6 \frac{13}{6} 6 13 or 2 1 6 2\frac{1}{6} 2 6 1 . Sample response:
4 − 11 6 = 24 6 − 11 6 = 13 6 4 - \frac{11}{6} = \frac{24}{6} - \frac{11}{6} = \frac{13}{6} 4 − 6 11 = 6 24 − 6 11 = 6 13
4 − 11 6 = ( 2 + 12 6 ) − 11 6 = 2 + ( 12 6 − 11 6 ) = 2 + 1 6 = 2 1 6 4 - \frac{11}{6} = \left(2 + \frac{12}{6}\right) - \frac{11}{6} = 2 + \left(\frac{12}{6} - \frac{11}{6} \right) = 2 + \frac{1}{6} = 2\frac{1}{6} 4 − 6 11 = ( 2 + 6 12 ) − 6 11 = 2 + ( 6 12 − 6 11 ) = 2 + 6 1 = 2 6 1
11 6 \frac{11}{6} 6 11 is 1 6 \frac{1}{6} 6 1 away from 2. I subtracted 2 from 4, and then add 1 6 \frac{1}{6} 6 1 back to get 2 1 6 2 \frac{1}{6} 2 6 1

Show Solution 4 2 4 4\frac{2}{4} 4 4 2 inches. Sample reasoning:
7 1 4 7\frac{1}{4} 7 4 1 is 6 + 1 + 1 4 6 + 1 + \frac{1}{4} 6 + 1 + 4 1 , which is 6 + 4 4 + 1 4 6 + \frac{4}{4} + \frac{1}{4} 6 + 4 4 + 4 1 or 6 + 5 4 6 + \frac{5}{4} 6 + 4 5 . I subtracted 2 wholes from 6 wholes, which gives 4 wholes, and then subtracted 3 4 \frac{3}{4} 4 3 from 5 4 \frac{5}{4} 4 5 , which gives 2 4 \frac{2}{4} 4 2 .
I know 3 is 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 more than 2 3 4 2\frac{3}{4} 2 4 3 . I subtracted 3 from 7 1 4 7 \frac{1}{4} 7 4 1 to get 4 1 4 4\frac{1}{4} 4 4 1 , and the I added 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 back because I subtracted 1 4 \frac{1}{4} 4 1 more than needed earlier.

1 1 5 1\frac{1}{5} 1 5 1 or 6 5 \frac{6}{5} 5 6 . Sample response:
13 5 = 10 5 + 3 5 = 2 + 3 5 = 2 3 5 \frac{13}{5} = \frac{10}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = 2+\frac{3}{5} = 2\frac{3}{5} 5 13 = 5 10 + 5 3 = 2 + 5 3 = 2 5 3 and 2 3 5 − 1 2 5 = 1 1 5 2\frac{3}{5} - 1\frac{2}{5} = 1\frac{1}{5} 2 5 3 − 1 5 2 = 1 5 1
1 2 5 = 5 5 + 2 5 = 7 5 1\frac{2}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{7}{5} 1 5 2 = 5 5 + 5 2 = 5 7 and 13 5 − 7 5 = 6 5 \frac{13}{5}-\frac{7}{5} = \frac{6}{5} 5 13 − 5 7 = 5 6

Show Solution
21 5 \frac{21}{5} 5 21 . Sample response: Each whole is 5 5 \frac{5}{5} 5 5 , so there are 15 5 \frac{15}{5} 5 15 in 3 and 17 5 \frac{17}{5} 5 17 in 3 2 5 3 \frac{2}{5} 3 5 2 . Then 4 5 \frac{4}{5} 5 4 more makes 21 5 \frac{21}{5} 5 21 .
15 8 \frac{15}{8} 8 15 . Sample response: Each whole is 8 8 \frac{8}{8} 8 8 , so 2 is equivalent to 16 8 \frac{16}{8} 8 16 , and subtracting 1 8 \frac{1}{8} 8 1 gives 15 8 \frac{15}{8} 8 15 .

18 4 8 18 \frac {4}{8} 18 8 4 pounds. Sample response: I first added the whole numbers of pounds which was 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 4 + 3 + 3+ 3 + 3 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 or 16. Then I added the eighths which was 6 8 + 7 8 + 7 8 = 20 8 \frac {6}{8} + \frac{7}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{20}{8} 8 6 + 8 7 + 8 7 = 8 20 , which is the same as 2 4 8 2\frac{4}{8} 2 8 4 . 16 + 2 4 8 = 18 4 8 16 + 2\frac {4}{8} = 18\frac {4}{8} 16 + 2 8 4 = 18 8 4

2 10 \frac{2}{10} 10 2
Find the combined thickness of:
a penny, a nickel, a quarter
a dollar, a half dollar, a quarter, and a dime
Show Solution
53 100 \frac{53}{100} 100 53 cm. Sample response: 15 100 + 2 10 + 18 100 = 33 100 + 20 100 = 53 100 \frac{15}{100} + \frac{2}{10} + \frac{18}{100} = \frac{33}{100} + \frac{20}{100} = \frac{53}{100} 100 15 + 10 2 + 100 18 = 100 33 + 100 20 = 100 53
74 100 \frac{74}{100} 100 74 cm. Sample response: 2 10 + 22 100 + 18 100 + 14 100 = 20 100 + 54 100 = 74 100 \frac{2}{10} + \frac{22}{100} + \frac{18}{100} + \frac{14}{100} = \frac{20}{100} + \frac{54}{100} = \frac{74}{100} 10 2 + 100 22 + 100 18 + 100 14 = 100 20 + 100 54 = 100 74

— Han’s Design (1 problem)
Han is using small sticky notes to make an H shape to decorate a notebook that is 6 inches wide and 9 inches tall. His design is shown here.
The longer side of the sticky note is 15 8 \frac{15}{8} 8 15 inches. The shorter side is 11 8 \frac{11}{8} 8 11 inches.
Is the notebook tall enough for his design? Show your reasoning.
Show Solution Yes. Sample response: The H shape is 5 × 11 8 5 \times \frac{11}{8} 5 × 8 11 or 55 8 \frac{55}{8} 8 55 inches tall. The notebook is 9 × 8 8 9 \times \frac{8}{8} 9 × 8 8 or 72 8 \frac{72}{8} 8 72 inches tall.

Problem 1
Select all expressions that are equivalent to 53 100 \frac{53}{100} 100 53 .
Show Solution C, D, E
Problem 2
Find the value of each expression. Explain or show your reasoning.
19 100 + 26 100 + 1 100 \frac{19}{100} + \frac{26}{100} + \frac{1}{100} 100 19 + 100 26 + 100 1
4 10 + 3 10 + 18 100 \frac{4}{10} + \frac{3}{10} + \frac{18}{100} 10 4 + 10 3 + 100 18
Show Solution
46 100 \frac{46}{100} 100 46 . Sample response: I first added 19 100 \frac{19}{100} 100 19 and 1 100 \frac{1}{100} 100 1 to get 20 100 \frac{20}{100} 100 20 , and then added 26 100 \frac{26}{100} 100 26 .
88 100 \frac{88}{100} 100 88 . Sample response: I first added 4 10 \frac{4}{10} 10 4 and 3 10 \frac{3}{10} 10 3 to get 7 10 \frac{7}{10} 10 7 , which is the same as 70 100 \frac{70}{100} 100 70 , which I put together with 18 100 \frac{18}{100} 100 18 .
Problem 3
If we combine each person's times for the two races, who finished in less time? Explain or show your reasoning.
Lin
Tyler
first race
6 5 10 6\frac{5}{10} 6 10 5 minutes
6 72 100 6\frac{72}{100} 6 100 72 minutes
second race
6 41 100 6\frac{41}{100} 6 100 41 minutes
6 26 100 6\frac{26}{100} 6 100 26 minutes
Show Solution Lin finished in less time. Her two times add to 12 91 100 12 \frac{91}{100} 12 100 91 minutes and Tyler’s times add to 12 98 100 12 \frac{98}{100} 12 100 98 minutes.
