TEST CORRECTIONS 

My first mistake was on the first section of the test, where the question asks 16/9 - 3/2.

I had converted the fractions into mixed numbers, where I came up with 3 5/18. But the supposed answer is 5/18.

My second mistake was the one that asks, "In computer terminology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. How many bits equal 16 bytes?" 

My mistake was that I went, 1/8 x 1/16 = 2/128. The right answer is 128 bits.

The third mistake I made was the one about Tamar and apple pie.

My mistake was that I answered 1/4. But the right answer was 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8.

The other mistakes I made were on the bottom where I drew all three pictures wrong, and I got the phrases wrong as well. 

The correct answer for the 1st one was, What is 5/6 groups of 1/2? 

The correct answer for the 2nd one was, How many groups of 1/3 are in 1/2? 

The correct answer for the 3rd one was, How many groups of 1/2 are in 5/8?

The correct answers for the pictures were...

7)  Dividing Using Common Denominator

This is how you do it

First you have to have to find the common denominator for example: 1/2 and 2/4 the common denominator is 4. Then after you do the reciprical strategy and if you have a mixed number you have to convert it to a improper fraction first.

8) Divide Using Multiplication


This is how you do it

USE RECIPRICOL

My Test Corrections:

My first mistake was, 2 1/2 x 1 3/5, the correct answer to that is:

The rest of my mistakes at the first section are,
On 2 1/4 x 1 1/3 = 3 I thought it equaled 2 12/12, that part kinda confused me, at the time...

On the computer terminology question, I did the manipulative method, and ended up with 1/128,
when it was actually 128/1 or 128 bytes:
 Q) In computer terminology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. How many bytes = 16 bytes?

Another mistake I've made at the first section was the question:
Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of whole pie did she eat? The answer was 1/8

My last mistake at the top part is the question, 1 1/2 ÷ 2/3 which again confused me, and I thought it was 1... Here's the real solution and answer:

My mistakes on the bottom section of our test (the graph to make diagrams) 

My mistake on the first question was that it was suppose to equal 5/12 (I rushed my answer, that's why I got it wrong..)

My last mistake for this whole test is the question on the bottom section: 1/4 ÷ 1/3, the real answer is 3/4, also forgot to add "How Many Times does 1/3 go into 1/4?"

11.) In a comedy review, each performer has a 1/4 h slot. How many performers are there in a 2 h show? 

I answer this question by using manipulatives method. The answer for this question is 8 performers.


12.) It takes 2 1/2 scoops of flour to make one cake. How many cakes do 15 scoops of flour make?

To answer this question first thing that you need to do is to change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
then use the same method as the first one.The answer  for this question is 6 cakes.

13.) Three quarters of a can of apple juice fills six glasses. How many glasses will a whole can of apple juice fill?  

The answer for this question is 8 glasses.

Here is the video on dividing fractions using the manipulatives method.

My test corrections.

My first mistake was on the question. In computer technology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. how many bits equal in 16 bytes? I multiply it instead of dividing it.

the  correct answer is 128 bytes.

My another mistake was on the question. Tamar ha 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. she ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of a whole pie did she eat? I divide it instead of multiplying it.

the correct answer is 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

My other mistake is the second question on bottom I solve it right but I don't now how to draw it.This picture show you how to draw it correctly.

And my last mistake is the last question at bottom I don;t know how to draw it. this picture show you how to draw it correctly.

My test corrections: 

My first mistake on the test was the question.. "Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of a whole pie did she eat?" I did not draw the picture so I did the manipulatives method.

The correct way to answer this question was:

Another question I made a mistake on was the first question on the bottom section.

 - This question asked us to use a question, picture and math to solve the question.

I did the picture, math right but I did not do the question right.

5/6 x 1/2=5/12

I wrote "How many groups of 1/2 goes into 5/6?

The right answer to this question was supposed to be "What is 5/6 groups of 1/2?"

11) In a comedy review, each performer has a 1/4 h slot. How many performers are there in a 2 h show?














To answer this question, I needed to use the manipulatives method. So the answer to this question is 8 performers.

12) It takes 2 1/2 scoops of flour to make one cake. How many cakes do 15 scoops of flour make?

To answer this question you use the same method as the first one shown. The answer to this question would be 6 cakes.

13) Three quarters of a can of apple juice fills six glasses. How many glasses will a whole can of apple juice fill?

As of before, you would use the same method as I used in the first 2. So this answer would be 8 glasses.


Well here is a video on dividing fractions using the manipulatives method.

My test corrections:

My first mistake was on the question.. Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of a whole pie did she eat?
Instead of multiplying, I divided.

The right answer is 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

My second mistake was on the first question on the bottom part. I did everthing right except for the question. I used the question... How many groups of 1/2 goes into 5/6?

The actual answer is... What is 5/6 groups of 1/2?

Today is class we learned about multiplying fractions, I did the first half of questions and Mae did the second half. Well here are some of the questions 

Oh and I apologize in advance if you can't see my pictures. 

  In order to solve this question you will need to follow the steps..

Step 1: Use the "elevator" method, which is using reciprocals, If you don't know what that is, here's a website that will explain what they are.

Step 2: You multiply the second fraction to make one, to do that you need to use reciprocals. 

Step 3: Whatever you multiply to the bottom you also have to do to the top!

Step 4: You then multiply those numbers and you should be able to get your answer.    

Step 5: You also can estimate if your answer is going to be  greater than 1 or less than 1. If your top fraction is greater than your bottom fraction then your answer if going to be greater than 1, but if your bottom fraction is greater than your top fraction then it's probably less than one.













For this question you repeat the same steps as above BUT there's one more step to this.

The extra step is to change the mixed number into a improper fraction.

When dividing fractions remember to always use Reciprocals.
Reciprocal - a number related to another in such a way that when multiplied together their product is 1.

My first mistake was: 

1. Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of a whole did she eat? Instead of multiplying it, I subtracted it.

My second mistake was:

2. 1/4 divided by 1/3. I answered it correctly but I didn't know how to draw it.
