School Race (Solve single-step word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators usi

The video tutorial explains how to solve a word problem involving fractions using a number line. It starts by introducing the problem of finding the remaining distance Sam needs to run in a race. The tutorial demonstrates how to represent distances on a number line and use it to visualize the problem. It then shows how to calculate the remaining distance by subtracting the distance Sam has already run from the total race distance, both using number lines and direct subtraction of improper fractions.

What is the total distance of the school race?

• 5 miles

• 4 miles

• 3 and 3/8 miles

• 2 and 1/2 miles

How far has Sam already run in the race?

• 1 and 5/8 miles

• 1 and 1/2 miles

• 3 miles

• 2 miles

How is the number line divided to represent fractions in this problem?

• Into 4 equal parts

• Into 10 equal parts

• Into 6 equal parts

• Into 8 equal parts

What is the remaining distance Sam needs to run after using the number line method?

• 2 miles

• 1 and 1/8 miles

• 1 and 6/8 miles

• 1 and 3/8 miles

What is the first step in the direct subtraction method?

• Divide the fractions

• Multiply the fractions

• Add the fractions

• Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

What is the improper fraction equivalent of 3 and 3/8?

• 26/8

• 27/8

• 25/8

• 28/8

What is the final answer for the remaining distance Sam needs to run using the subtraction method?

• 1 and 7/8 miles

• 1 and 6/8 miles

• 2 miles
