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

Alison collected $\small \frac{1}{5}$ of a bag of leaves. Karen collected $\small 6$ times as many bags as Alison. How many bags did Karen collect?

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{6}{7}$

$\small \frac{2}{3}$

$\small 1\frac{1}{6}$

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

$\small \frac{3}{6}$

Correct answer:

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

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.

$\small \small \frac{6}{1}\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}$

$\small \frac{6}{5}=1\frac{1}{5}$ Because $\small 5$ can go into only $\small 1$ time and $\small \frac{1}{5}$ is left over.

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