Example Question #2 : Interpret Multiplication As Scaling: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.B.5

Fill in the blank with the correct sign.

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

Possible Answers:

$\small <$

$\small =$

$\small >$

Correct answer:

$\small <$

Explanation:

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

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.

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

$\small \frac{2}{2}=1$ Because can go into an even $\small 1$ time.

$\small 1<2$

$\small 9$ __________ $\small \small 9\times\frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\small >$

Correct answer:

$\small >$

Explanation:

$\small 9$ __________ $\small \small 9\times\frac{2}{3}$

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.

$\small \frac{9}{1}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{18}{3}$

$\small \frac{18}{3}=6$ Because can go into $\small 18$ and even times.

$\small 9>6$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$\small 4\times\frac{2}{9}$ __________

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.

$\small \frac{4}{1}\times\frac{2}{9}=\frac{8}{9}$

$\small \frac{8}{9}<4$

__________ $\small 5\times\frac{3}{4}$

Possible Answers:

$\small =$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

__________ $\small 5\times\frac{3}{4}$

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.

$\small \frac{5}{1}\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}$

$\small \frac{15}{4}=3\frac{2}{4}$ Because $\small 4$ can go into $\small 15$ only $\small 3$ times and $\small \frac{2}{4}$ is left over

$\small 5>3\frac{2}{4}$
