Trip to the Amusement Park (Use the number lines to solve word problems involving subtraction of fractions with like and

The video tutorial explains how to find the difference between two distances using number lines. Billy and Peter's families travel different distances to an amusement park. The tutorial demonstrates how to represent these distances on number lines, find a common denominator, and calculate the difference. It also presents an alternative method using a single number line. The lesson focuses on subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.

What is the main task that needs to be solved in the video?

• Identifying the amusement park location

• Determining the speed of the cars

• Calculating the difference in distances driven by Billy's and Peter's dads

• Finding the total distance both families traveled

How is the distance of 5 and 1/8 miles represented on the number line?

• Divided into ten equal parts

• Divided into four equal parts

• Divided into six equal parts

• Divided into eight equal parts

What is the denominator used for the second distance of 4 and 3/4 miles?

• 8

• 6

• 4

• 2

Why do we need to find a common denominator for the two distances?

• To convert the distances to kilometers

• To simplify the calculation

• To use the same sized parts for comparison

• To make the distances longer

What is the equivalent fraction of 3/4 when converted to eighths?

• 5/8

• 3/8

• 6/8

• 4/8

What is the difference between the two distances after using the number lines?

• 4/8 of a mile

• 1/8 of a mile

• 2/8 of a mile

• 3/8 of a mile

What alternative method is suggested for solving the problem?

• Using a ruler

• Using a single number line
