Q

When a fraction is divided by a whole number how does the answer compare with the dividend (the original fraction)?

A

The quotient is smaller than the original fraction. When this happens, our answer is reasonable.

Q

What are the differences between dividing FRACTION by MIXED NUMBER and MIXED NUMBER by FRACTION?

A

It is necessary to change the mixed number into a fraction greater than one before invert and multiply method, if the mixed number is the divisor.

Q

How do you find the product of decimals?

A

You can use the standard algorithm, or partial products

17
Q

How do you locate the location of the decimal point in a number?

A

Calculate the number of digits in each factor. The sum represents the number of decimal digits in the product

18
Q

What is another way to solve a problem that deals with adding and multiplying decimals?

A

Estimation

19
Q

How do you do the invert and multiply method?

A

Keep the dividend, change division to multiplication, and flip the divisor

20
Q

What are the steps used to change a division question with decimals to a division question with whole numbers?

A

If the divisor is not a whole number, rewriet the divisor as a whole number by moving the decimal point. Then, move the decimal point in the divident the same number of pplace values as you did in the divisor

21
Q

What is unit rate?

A

A quantity of 1 (MPH, Money per hour, Amount sold per hour,)

22
Q

Solve 865.1475 / 47.25

A

842.945

23
Q

What are the steps that you need to chnge a division question with a decimal to a division question with whole numbers?

A

If the divisor isn’t a whole number, rewrite the divisor as a whole number by moving the decimal point. The number of times the decimal point is moved in the divisor is the number of times it should also be moved on the dividend.

24
Q

What is GCF?

A

The greatest whole number which is a common factor of variables a and b.

25
Q

What is LCM?

A

The least whole number that is a common multiple of a and b

26
Q

How do you find the GCF?

A
  1. List factor pairs in order using a 2 column chart
  2. Circle common factors that appear on both lists
  3. Place a triangle on the greatest factor out of all the circled factors.
27
Q

How do you find the LCM?

A
  1. List the first 10 multiples of each number
  2. Circle the multiples that appear on both lists
  3. Place a trinagle on the multiple that is the least.
28
Q

How do you use prime factors to solve?

A
  1. Make a prime factor tree
  2. Circle each pair of numbers that appear on both trees
  3. Use a venn diagram to compare the factors
  4. Multiply each pair of factors to find the GCF
29
Q

Find the GCF of 24 and 40

A

8

30
Q

Find the GCF of 11 and 18

A

6

31
Q

Find the LCM of 30 and 60

A

30

32
Q

How do you use the distributive property to find the GCF of two numbers?

A

Find the GCF of both numbers
Divide each factor by the GCF
Set up your expressions
GCF (1ST FACTOR) + GCF (SECOND FACTOR) = GCF (1ST AND 2ND FACTOR)

33
Q

What is the U-turn used for the distributive property?

A

Add the numbers together, and it should match with what you got

34
Q

What U-Turn would you use for Dividing Decimals?

A

Use inverse operations, and multiply the divisor by the quotient to get the dividend

35
Q

What U-Turn can you use for dividing whole numbers?

A

Inverse Operations

36
Q

What u-turn can you use for Decimals times decimals?

A

Estimation

37
Q

What U-Turn can you use to find the product of a whole number x decimal?

A

Partial Products

38
Q

Find 200 x 32.6; Remember to do a u-turn

A

6520

39
Q

What u-turn can be used for sums and differences of decimals?

A

Estimation

40
Q

How do you create a model for a fraction divided by a whole number?

A

Draw the fraction, divide it by the whole number, circle the top,

41
Q

How do you create a model for whole number divided by fraction?

A

Draw the whole number
