What is the process to find the amount of syrup used in each snow cone if \(\frac{1}{4}\) gallon is used for 16 snow cones?

Back

To find the amount of syrup per snow cone, divide the total syrup by the number of snow cones: \(\frac{1}{4} \div 16 = \frac{1}{64}\) gallons.

Front

If Harriett baked 3 cakes and cut each into pieces that are \(\frac{1}{9}\) of a cake, how do you calculate the total number of pieces?

Back

Multiply the number of cakes by the number of pieces per cake: \(3 \times 9 = 27\) pieces.

Front

How can you determine the fraction of cake each friend receives if 3 friends share \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a cake?

Back

Use the equation: \(\frac{1}{2} \div 3 = \frac{1}{6}\). Each friend receives \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the cake.

Front

If Tommy has 3 cups of blueberries and eats \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup each day, how many days will the blueberries last?

Back

Divide the total blueberries by the amount eaten per day: \(3 \div \frac{1}{2} = 6\) days.

Front

What does the expression \(4 \div \frac{1}{8}\) represent in terms of division of fractions?

Back

Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal: \(4 \times 8 = 32\).

Front

Define a fraction.

Back

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is expressed as \(\frac{a}{b}\), where \(a\) is the numerator and \(b\) is the denominator.

Front

What is the reciprocal of a fraction?

Back

The reciprocal of a fraction \(\frac{a}{b}\) is \(\frac{b}{a}\).

Front

Explain how to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction.

Back

Multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place over the original denominator. For example, \(2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\).

Front

What is the least common multiple (LCM) and how is it used in fractions?

Back

The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both. It is used to find a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions.

Front

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Back

Find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators. For example, \(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{2}{12} = \frac{5}{12}\).
