Example Question #51 : Solve Real World Problems Involving Multiplication Of Fractions And Mixed Numbers: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.B.6

A recipe calls for $\frac{2}{3}$ of a cup of flour. If you only want to make half of the recipe, how much flour do you need?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{6}\ cup$

$\frac{3}{4}\ cup$

$\frac{1}{7}\ cup$

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

$\frac{1}{3}\ cup$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{3}\ cup$

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 $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{6}$

Reduce to find your final answer

$\frac{2}{6}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{1}{3}$

Solve:

$\small \frac{4}{8}\times\frac{1}{3}$

Possible Answers:

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

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

$\small \frac{5}{6}$

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

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

Correct answer:

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

Example Question #293 : How To Multiply Fractions

Rectangle 1

The above rectangle, which is divided into squares of equal size, has area $33 \frac{3}{5}$ . Give the area of the shaded portion of the rectangle.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The area of the rectangle can be rewritten as

$33 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{33 \times 5+ 3}{5} = \frac{165+3}{5} = \frac{168}{5}$

5 out of the 12 segments, or $\frac{5}{12}$ , of the rectangle, is shaded, so the area of the shaded region is

$\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{168}{5}$

Cross-cancelling:

$\frac{1}{1} \times \frac{14}{1}$

= 14
