Example Question #1 : Solve Real World Problems Involving Multiplication Of Fractions And Mixed Numbers: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.B.6

Sara collected $\small \frac{2}{9}$ of a bag of leaves. Joe collected $\small 7$ times as many bags as Sara. How many bags did Joe collect?

Possible Answers:

$\small 1\frac{5}{9}$

$\small 1\frac{3}{9}$

$\small \frac{5}{9}$

$\small \frac{9}{14}$

$\small \frac{9}{13}$

Correct answer:

$\small 1\frac{5}{9}$

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.

$\small \frac{7}{1}\times\frac{2}{9}=\frac{14}{9}$

$\small \frac{14}{9}=1\frac{5}{9}$ Because $\small 9$ can go into $\small 14$ only $\small 1$ time and $\small \frac{5}{9}$ is left over.

Joe collected $\small 1\frac{5}{9}$ bags of leaves.
