QuestionNAME Ryan More Egg Carton Fractions
1 Write at least two fractions to show the part of each egg carton that is filled. Draw lines on the egg cartons to divide them into equal parts. example 36 \frac{3}{6} 46 \frac{4}{6}
2 Fractions can be greater than one. If a fraction greater than one is written as a whole number with a fraction, it is called a mixed number. If it is written as a fraction, it is called an improper fraction. Draw on the egg cartons to divide them into equal parts. Then write a mixed number and an improper fraction to show how many full egg cartons there are. example 114 1\frac{1}{4} 54 \frac{5}{4} The Math Learning Center Bridges in Mathematics 45

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to write fractions representing the filled parts of egg cartons and, in the second section, express quantities greater than one carton as both mixed numbers and improper fractions. Watch out! Make sure to divide the cartons into equal parts when drawing lines, and remember that the denominator represents the total number of equal parts, not just the empty ones!

STEP 2

1. Problem 1: Fractions for Filled Egg Cartons
2. Problem 2: Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

STEP 3

We see **one** filled spot out of a total of **six**.
We can write this as the fraction 16\frac{1}{6}.

STEP 4

There are **four** filled spots out of **six** total.
This gives us the fraction 46\frac{4}{6}.

STEP 5

Here we have **two** filled spots out of **six** total, which we represent as 26\frac{2}{6}.

STEP 6

We count **five** filled spots out of **six** total, so our fraction is 56\frac{5}{6}.

STEP 7

Finally, we see **three** filled spots out of **six** total, giving us the fraction 36\frac{3}{6}.

STEP 8

We have one full carton (**1**) and 14\frac{1}{4} of another.
This is written as the mixed number 1141\frac{1}{4}.
Since each carton has four spots, we have a total of 14+1=51 \cdot 4 + 1 = 5 filled spots.
As an improper fraction, this is 54\frac{5}{4}.

STEP 9

Here we have one full carton (**1**) and 34\frac{3}{4} of another.
As a mixed number, this is 1341\frac{3}{4}.
In total, we have 14+3=71 \cdot 4 + 3 = 7 filled spots.
The improper fraction is 74\frac{7}{4}.

STEP 10

1. a. 16\frac{1}{6} b. 46\frac{4}{6} c. 26\frac{2}{6} d. 56\frac{5}{6} e. 36\frac{3}{6}
2. a. Mixed number: 1141\frac{1}{4}, Improper fraction: 54\frac{5}{4} b. Mixed number: 1341\frac{3}{4}, Improper fraction: 74\frac{7}{4}
