Lesson 1
Using Decimals in a Shopping Context
How Did You Compute with Decimals? (1 problem)

Reflect on how you made calculations when planning a menu.

  1. How did you add dollar amounts that were not whole numbers? Use the numbers $5.89 and $1.45 to show or explain your strategy.
  2. How did you multiply dollar amounts that were not whole numbers? Suppose you are computing the cost of 4 pounds of beef at $5.89 per pound. Use this example to explain or show your strategy.
Show Solution
  1. Sample response: I would add the dollars and cents separately, and then combine the sums at the end. 5+15 + 1 is 6 and 89+4589 + 45 is 134, so it’s $6 plus $1.34, which is $7.34.
  2. Sample response: I would round the $5.89 to $5.90 to make it easier to multiply. Then, I would find 4 times $5, which is $20, and 4 times $0.90, which is $3.60. The two products added together is $23.60. The exact cost would be 4 cents less than $23.60, because $5.89 is 1 cent less than $5.90, and 4 times 1 cent is 4 cents. So, the total cost would be $23.56.
Lesson 2
Using Diagrams to Represent Addition and Subtraction
Why or Why Not? (1 problem)

Does adding 0.025 and 0.17 give a sum of 0.042? Explain or show your reasoning.

If you choose to use a diagram, you can use the following representations of base-ten units.

A diagram of base-ten units.
1 large square labeled "one." 1 medium rectangle labeled “zero point one, or tenth.” 1 medium square labeled “ 0 point 0 one, or hundredth.” 1 tiny rectangle labeled “0 point 0 0 1, or thousandth.” 1 tiny square labeled “0 point 0 0 0 1, or ten-thousandth.”

Show Solution

No. Sample reasoning:

  • The number 0.17 is greater than 0.042, so 0.042 cannot be the sum of 0.17 and another decimal.
  • A diagram showing 1 medium rectangle (1 tenth), 9 medium squares (9 hundredths), and 5 small rectangles (5 thousandths).

    <p>Base-10 block representation. </p>
  • 0.025+0.17=0.02+0.005+0.1+0.07=0.125+0.07=0.1950.025 + 0.17 = 0.02 + 0.005 + 0.1 + 0.07 = 0.125 + 0.07 = 0.195.
  • Calculation with numbers should show the decimal points lining up and a sum of 0.195.

How Much Farther? (1 problem)

A runner has run 1.192 kilometers of a 10-kilometer race. How much farther does she need to run to finish the race? Show your reasoning.

Show Solution

8.808 kilometers. Sample reasoning:

  • 9.9991.192=8.8079.999 - 1.192 = 8.807. Adding 0.001 to 8.807 gives 8.808.

Using Fractions to Multiply Decimals
Explaining and Calculating Products (1 problem)
  1. Use what you know about decimals or fractions to explain why (0.2)(0.002)=0.0004(0.2) \boldcdot (0.002)= 0.0004.

  2. A rectangular plot of land is 0.4 kilometer long and 0.07 kilometer wide. What is its area in square kilometers?
Show Solution
  1. Sample response: 0.2 is 210\frac{2}{10}, and 0.002 is 21,000\frac{2}{1,000}. Multiplying the two we have: 21021,000=410,000\frac{2}{10} \boldcdot \frac{2}{1,000} = \frac{4}{10,000}, which is 0.0004.
  2. 0.028 square kilometers, because (0.4)(0.07)=0.028(0.4) \boldcdot (0.07)=0.028
Lesson 6
Methods for Multiplying Decimals
A Product of Two Decimals (1 problem)

Explain or show how you would find the value of (1.35)(4.2)(1.35) \boldcdot (4.2) if you know that 13542=5,670135 \boldcdot 42 = 5{,}670.

Show Solution
Sample responses:
  • 135=(1.35)100135 = (1.35) \boldcdot 100 and 42=(4.2)1042 = (4.2) \boldcdot 10, so 13542135 \boldcdot 42 is 10010100 \boldcdot 10, or 1,000, times (1.35)(4.2)(1.35) \boldcdot (4.2). This means (1.35)(4.2)(1.35) \boldcdot (4.2) is 5,670÷1,0005,670 \div 1,000, which is 5.67.
  • (1.35)(4.2)=1351004210=1354210100=5,6701,000(1.35) \boldcdot (4.2) = \frac{135}{100} \boldcdot \frac{42}{10} = \frac{135 \boldcdot 42}{10 \boldcdot 100} = \frac{5,670}{1,000}, which is 5.67.

Problem 1

A rectangular wall is 7.2 meters long and is 3.8 meters in height. What is its area in square meters? Show your reasoning.

Show Solution

27.36 square meters. Sample reasoning:

  •  

  • (7.2)(3.8)=72103810=2,736100=27.36(7.2) \boldcdot (3.8) = \frac{72}{10} \boldcdot \frac{38}{10} = \frac{2,736}{100} = 27.36

Problem 2
  1. Find the product of 64 and 9.

  2. Explain how you can use the value of 64964 \boldcdot 9 to find the value of (6.4)(0.009)(6.4) \boldcdot (0.009).
Show Solution
  1. 576

  2. Sample responses:
    • There is 1 decimal place in 6.4 and 3 decimal places in 0.009, so the product will have 4 decimal places. I can move the digits in 576 to the right 4 places to get 0.0576.
    • 64 is 10(6.4)10 \boldcdot (6.4), and 9 is 1,000(0.009)1,000 \boldcdot (0.009), so the product of 64 and 9 is 10,000 times the product of 6.4 and 0.009. Dividing 576 by 10,000 gives 0.0576.

Using Base-Ten Diagrams to Divide
Putting 33 into 4 Groups (1 problem)

To find 33÷433 \div 4, Clare drew a diagram and thought about how to put the tens and ones into 4 equal-size groups.

  1. There aren’t enough tens or ones to put into 4 groups. What can Clare do to find the quotient? Explain or show your reasoning.

  2. What is the value of 33÷433 \div 4?
Show Solution
  1. Sample response: The 3 tens can be decomposed into 30 ones, making a total of 33 ones. Of these, 32 ones can be distributed into 4 groups, 8 ones in each. There is 1 one left. This can be decomposed into 10 tenths and distributed into 4 groups, 2 tenths in each group. There are 2 tenths left. These can be decomposed into 20 hundredths and then distributed into 4 groups, 5 hundredths in each group.

Lesson 14
Solving Problems Involving Decimals
Ribbon for Sharing (1 problem)

Jada and Han are sharing a piece of ribbon that is 1.905 meters long for a craft project. Jada cuts 0.82 meter from one end of the ribbon and Han cuts 0.175 meter from the other end.

Afterward, they split the ribbon that is left into equal-size pieces that are 0.13-meter long each. How many pieces will they have? Show your reasoning.

Show Solution

7 pieces. Sample reasoning: Jada and Han cut a total of 0.82+0.1750.82 + 0.175, or 0.995 meter, from the two ends. This leaves 1.9050.9951.905-0.995, or 0.91 meter. Dividing 0.91 by 0.13 gives 7.
