A recipe calls for $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of flour. If you only want to make half of the recipe, how much flour do you need?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}\ cup$

$\frac{1}{12}\ cup$

$\frac{1}{10}\ cup$

$\frac{1}{9}\ cup$

$\frac{2}{6}\ cup$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{12}\ cup$

Explanation:

When you cut something in half, you can either divide by or multiply by $\frac{1}{2}$ . Remember, when you divide fractions, you actually multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{12}$

Example Question #61 : Solve Real World Problems Involving Multiplication Of Fractions And Mixed Numbers: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.B.6

Dan collected $\small \frac{1}{4}$ of a bag of leaves. Sean collected $\small 6$ times as many bags as Dan. How many bags did Sean collect?

Possible Answers:

$\small 1\frac{1}{2}$

$\small 3$

$\small 1$

$\small 2\frac{2}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\small 1\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

When we multiply a fraction by a whole number, we first want to make the whole number into a fraction. We do that by putting the whole number over $\small 1.$ Then we multiply like normal.

$\small \frac{6}{1}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{6}{4}$

$\small \frac{6}{4}=1\frac{2}{4}$ Because can go into $\small 6$ only $\small 1$ time and $\small \frac{2}{4}$ is left over.

Sean collected $\small 1\frac{2}{4}$ bags of leaves.

$\frac{2}{4}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}\times4=4\times\frac{1}{3}$

$4\div 3=4\times\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{7}{8}\times8=\frac{7}{8}\div \frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{1}{3}\div 4=4\div \frac{1}{3}$

$2\times3\div 3=\frac{2}{1}\times\frac{3}{1}\times\frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}\div 4=4\div \frac{1}{3}$
