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?"

Ryan's Fraction Scribepost

These is how you do number 6 in 227-229. (Sorry if you can't read my writing.)

This is how you do number 5.

This is how you do number 10. Sorry if you can't read this.

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.

In the test I forgot to write the word question and I didn't know how to draw the pictures but now I do! hope my pictures could help!

Jira's Pay it Forward

Part 1

What is "Pay it Forward"
  - it is used to describe people who are doing good deeds for another three or more people. Also helping another three or more people in exchange except giving awards. A concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received. But, when you pay it forward, you don't repay the person who did something nice for you. Instead, you do something nice for someone else.

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. 

3. Explain how the diagram shows that the quotient of 3/7 is 1/7 is between 4 and 5.  

6. Determine each quotient and use diagram

8. Divide Using Multiplication

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.

My Test Corrections

My first mistake was on the top section. It was this question:
In computer terminology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. How many bits equal 16 bytes?
I did this solution:
16/1 x 1/8 = 16/8 or 2
The solution and answer was wrong it's supposed to be:
16/1 divided by 1/8 = 16/1 x 8/1= 128 bits.

My second mistake was:
1 1/2 divided by 2/3
This is what I did:
1 1/2 divided by 2/3= 3/2 x 3/2= 9/2 or 4 1/2
I didn't multiply the denominator 2.
This the correct solution:
1 1/2 divided by 2/3= 3/2 x 3/2 = 9/4 or 2 1/4

My last mistake was in the bottom part.
My question was wrong in the third picture:
I wrote share 1/4 into 1/3 equal groups.
It's supposed to be: How many groups of 1/3 goes into 1/4.
