Math Unit 8- Open Ended

Skill Practice

First, make 1 = 7/7Next, add 7/7 to 1/7third, your sum should be 8/7fourth, 1/2 of 8/7 is 4/7 (look at the numerators, 1/2 of 8 = 4)Thus, 1/2 of 1 and 1/7 = 4/7

Take 1/2 of 1 and 1/7

Let's try multiplication1) 'of' means multiplication2) 1/2 * 1 and 1/73) turn 1 ands 1/7 into a top heavy fraction:8/74) 1/2 * 8/7 = 8/145) 8/14 = 4/7

Take 1/2 of 1 and 1/7 - another algorithm

Find 1/2 of 1 and 1/9

Don't flip the slide, first, solve the problem and then check your work

Now you try

The answer is 5/9

1 and 1/9=1= 9/99/9 + 1/9 = 10/91/2 of 10/9 = 5/9Remember: 1/2 of 10 = 5

Did you get

Find 1/2 of 1 and 1/91/2 * 10/9 = 10/1810/18 = 5/9The answer is 5/9
