Grade 6 | Unit 4 | Lesson 8: How Much in Each Group? (Part 1) | Practice Problems

Mai has picked 1 cup of strawberries for a cake, which is enough for $$\frac34$$ of the cake. How many cups does she need for the whole cake?

Priya has picked $$1\frac12$$ cups of raspberries, which is enough for $$\frac34$$ of a cake. How many cups does she need for the whole cake?

Tyler painted $$\frac92$$ square yards of wall area with 3 gallons of paint. How many gallons of paint does it take to paint each square yard of wall? Write multiplication and division equations to represent the situation.

It takes $$\frac23$$ gallons of paint for each square yard of wall. Draw a diagram to represent and answer the question.

After walking $$\frac14$$ mile from home, Han is $$\frac13$$ of his way to school. What is the distance between his home and school? Write multiplication and division equations to represent this situation.

Complete the diagram to represent and answer the question. The answer is $$\frac34$$ mile ( $$\frac14 \div \frac13 = \frac34$$ ).

Here is a division equation: $$\frac45 \div \frac23 = {?}$$ Write a multiplication equation that corresponds to the division equation.

A set of books that are each 1.5 inches wide are being organized on a bookshelf that is 36 inches wide. How many books can fit on the shelf? Write multiplication and division equations to represent the situation.

24 books can fit on the shelf. Draw a diagram, if needed. Use the multiplication equation to check your answer.

Without calculating, order the quotients from smallest to largest.

• $$56 \div 8$$
• $$56 \div 8,000,000$$
• $$56 \div 0.000008$$
