(oops, sorry again. Messy. And my scanner scanned parts that we're not supposed to be seen, but you get the point.)

How to answer the questions:
- If the fraction is a whole put it in fraction form.
ex: 2 = 2/1
- If there is a mixed number you can convert it to an improper fraction. 
ex:   9/3/4
     = 9 x 3 + 4
     = 39/4
- Then put the equation in fraction form.
- After that the denominator has to equal one by doing reciprocal.
- Reciprocal are two numbers  that when multiplied equal one.
ex: 1/4 x 4/1 = 4/4 or 1
- What ever you do to the denominator do that for the numerator.
- Draw a diagram or write down a question to help you understand more.
-Simplify the answer if not.

Questions:

15. Shana and Zack painted their rooms using paint in cans of the  same size. Shana used 1/1/2 cans of paint. Zack used 2/3/4 cans of paint. How many times as much paint did Zack use as Shana?

1. Anna divided 5/6 by 1/2 and stated that the quotient is 5/12

A) What was Anna's mistake?

Anna's mistake was that she did this:

B) What is the correct quotient? Use a diagram to show how you know.

Diagram:

4. 2  1/2 divided by 1  1/2 equal 1 1/2 divided by 2 1/2

No they do not equal the same.

B) If the quotient in part a) are not equal, how are they related?

I think their related since they have the two same mixed fractions but they switched the roles.

9. Divide.
3/4 divided by 4/5

 

1 2/3 divided by 2 5/6

12 divided by 3/4

Test Corrections:


1. 2 1/2 x 1 3/5
My mistake was...well I pretty much copied the question wrong when I was writing it improper, didn't have time to double check.



2. 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? My mistake was unable to draw the picture.

3. 5/6 x 1/2 My mistake was that I didn't say it like a question with words properly.

What is 5/6 of 1/2



4. 1/4 divided by 1/3 My mistake was that I didn't draw the diagram right.
