Jumping Number Line Method Concepts

The video tutorial explains how construction workers are expanding a stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike. It details the problem of determining the total distance of the highway stretch, given that eight miles have been completed, which is two-thirds of the total distance. The tutorial uses two methods to solve the problem: a segmented number line and a jumping number line. Both methods confirm that the total distance is 12 miles. The video concludes by verifying the solution using standard algorithms.

What fraction of the New Jersey Turnpike has been completed by the construction workers?

• Three-quarters

• Two-thirds

• One-third

• One-half

If eight miles represent two-thirds of the total distance, how many miles are left to be paved?

• Four miles

• Six miles

• Ten miles

• Eight miles

What is the purpose of creating a segmented number line in this context?

• To distribute the completed miles evenly

• To determine the number of workers needed

• To measure the width of the road

• To calculate the cost of construction

How many miles are represented in each third of the segmented number line?

• Five miles

• Four miles

• Three miles

• Two miles

What is the total distance of the highway stretch being paved?

• 10 miles

• 12 miles

• 14 miles

• 16 miles

What is the jumping number line method used for?

• To calculate the total cost

• To measure the width of the road

• To find the number of groups of two-thirds in eight miles

• To determine the number of workers

How is each mile divided in the jumping number line method?

• Into quarters

• Into fifths

• Into thirds

• Into halves

What does each jump represent in the jumping number line method?

• A completed section of the road

• A mile

• A group of workers

• A construction phase

What is the result of using both the segmented and jumping number line methods?

• A need for more data

• An error in calculation

• The same total distance

• Different total distances

Which method helps in understanding the parts of the whole distance?

• Both methods

• Jumping number line

• Neither method

• Segmented number line
