Training for the Race (Multiply a fraction and a whole number using the number line)

The video tutorial explains how Sam trains for a race by running laps around a park. Each lap is 3/4 of a mile, and the video demonstrates how to calculate the total distance Sam runs after five laps using multiplication. The tutorial uses a number line to visually represent the multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, showing that Sam runs a total of 3 and 3/4 miles. The lesson concludes with a summary of how to multiply fractions and whole numbers using a number line.

What is the distance of one lap around the park that Sam runs?

• 3/4 of a mile

• 1 mile

• 1 and 1/2 miles

• 1/2 of a mile

How can we calculate the total distance Sam runs after five laps?

• By dividing 5 by 3/4

• By subtracting 3/4 from 5

• By adding 3/4 five times

• By multiplying 3/4 by 5

What is the purpose of using a number line in this lesson?

• To subtract fractions from whole numbers

• To visualize multiplication of fractions and whole numbers

• To add fractions easily

• To divide whole numbers by fractions

After running three laps, how far has Sam run?

• 3 miles

• 2 miles

• 2 and 1/4 miles

• 1 and 1/2 miles

What is the total distance Sam covers after completing five laps?

• 3 and 3/4 miles

• 3 miles

• 4 miles

• 2 and 1/2 miles
