5351493
What number is marked on the number line? Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
Figure for problem 535149

Hints

- Count the equal intervals from \(4\) to \(5\). - Determine the value of one step. - Count the steps from \(4\) to the marker.

Solution

1. The interval from \(4\) to \(5\) is divided into \(8\) equal parts, so each step is \(\frac{1}{8}\). 2. The marker is three steps to the right of \(4\). 3. Therefore, the marked number is \(4\frac{3}{8}\).

Answer

\(4\frac{3}{8}\)
5318073
Points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are marked on the number line. a) Into how many equal parts is the interval from \(1\) to \(2\) divided? What fraction does one small interval represent? b) What values are marked by \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\)? Write each as an improper fraction and a mixed number.
Figure for problem 531807

Hints

- Count the equal intervals from \(1\) to \(2\). - Count how many eighths each point lies to the right of \(1\). - Combine the whole number with the fractional part.

Solution

1. The interval from \(1\) to \(2\) is divided into \(8\) equal parts, so each small interval represents \(\frac{1}{8}\). 2. Point \(A\) is one eighth past \(1\): \(A=\frac{9}{8}=1\frac{1}{8}\). 3. Point \(B\) is five eighths past \(1\): \(B=\frac{13}{8}=1\frac{5}{8}\). 4. Point \(C\) is seven eighths past \(1\): \(C=\frac{15}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\).

Answer

a) \(8\) equal parts; one interval is \(\frac{1}{8}\) b) \(A=\frac{9}{8}=1\frac{1}{8}\), \(B=\frac{13}{8}=1\frac{5}{8}\), \(C=\frac{15}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\)
5320393
Ms. Weber made waffles for a school fair. The picture shows the waffles that are left. Each whole waffle is divided into \(6\) equal pieces. a) Write the amount of waffle left as a mixed number. b) How many one-sixth pieces are left in all? Also write the amount as an improper fraction.
Figure for problem 532039

Hints

- Count the completely filled waffles first. - In the partly filled waffle, count the total equal parts and the filled parts. - Multiply the number of wholes by \(6\), then add the remaining pieces.

Solution

1. The picture shows \(2\) whole waffles and \(5\) of the \(6\) pieces of another waffle. This is \(2\frac{5}{6}\). 2. Two whole waffles contain \(2\times6=12\) one-sixth pieces. Including the other \(5\) pieces gives \(12+5=17\) pieces. Therefore, the improper fraction is \(\frac{17}{6}\).

Answer

a) \(2\frac{5}{6}\) b) \(17\) one-sixth pieces, or \(\frac{17}{6}\)
5352683
Find the fractions marked by \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) on the number line. Write each fraction in simplest form.
Figure for problem 535268

Hints

- Count the equal intervals from \(0\) to \(1\). - Use that count as the denominator of one step. - Count steps from \(0\) to each marker.

Solution

1. The interval from \(0\) to \(1\) is divided into \(4\) equal parts, so one step is \(\frac{1}{4}\). 2. Point \(A\) is two steps from \(0\): \(A=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\). 3. Point \(B\) is five steps from \(0\): \(B=\frac{5}{4}\). 4. Point \(C\) is seven steps from \(0\): \(C=\frac{7}{4}\).

Answer

\(A=\frac{1}{2}\), \(B=\frac{5}{4}\), \(C=\frac{7}{4}\)

What mixed number is shown in the picture?
Figure for problem 535655

Hints

- Count the completely shaded squares. - Find the fraction shaded in the last square. - A mixed number has a whole-number part and a fractional part.

Solution

1. Two squares are completely shaded. 2. The last square is divided into \(4\) equal parts, and \(1\) part is shaded. This is \(\frac{1}{4}\). 3. The mixed number is \(2\frac{1}{4}\).

Answer

\(2\frac{1}{4}\)
5358533
The picture shows a mixed number. Is its value greater than or less than \(3\)? Explain.
Figure for problem 535853

Hints

- Count the complete circles. - Decide whether the last circle is complete. - Compare the number of complete wholes with \(3\).

Solution

1. The picture shows \(2\) whole circles and \(\frac{3}{4}\) of another circle, so the value is \(2\frac{3}{4}\). 2. Since it has only \(2\) wholes and part of a third whole, \(2\frac{3}{4}<3\).

Answer

The value is less than \(3\) because the picture shows \(2\) whole circles and only \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a third circle.
5358543
The picture shows a mixed number. Compare it with \(\frac{8}{3}\). Are the values equal, or is one greater?
Figure for problem 535854

Hints

- Read the mixed number shown in the picture. - Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. - Compare your fraction with \(\frac{8}{3}\).

Solution

1. The picture shows \(2\) wholes and \(\frac{2}{3}\), so the mixed number is \(2\frac{2}{3}\). 2. Convert it to an improper fraction: \(2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times3+2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\). 3. Therefore, the two values are equal.

Answer

The values are equal.
