"And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around". Exodus 25:10-11. What is the result of multiplying these measurements together (as a mixed fraction)?
2 and 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/2 = 3/2
1 1/2 = 3/2
5/2 x 3/2 x 3/2 = 45/8 = 5 and 5/8

You shall also make a table of acacia wood; two cubits shall be its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height. Exodus 25:23.
Divide all the table measurements by 1/2 and then add them together. What is the result of this and will the table's measurements be smaller or larger?
2/1 divide 1/2 = 2/1 times 2/1 = 4/1 = 4
1/1 divide 1/2 = 1/1 times 2/1 = 2/1 = 2
1 1/2 divide 1/2 = 3/2 times 2/1 = 6/2 = 3/1 = 3
4+2+3 = 9
Original measurements 2+1+1 1/2 = 4.5

Subtract the fractions 10/15 - 4/5
10/15 - 12/15 = 3/15 = 1/5
Francesca ran 100 meters in 13 and a 1/2 seconds. Aragon rode a horse and completed the same distance in 5 and a 1/3 seconds. How much faster is Aragon than Francesca?
Aragon: 16/3
Francesca: 27/2
Make denominators the same.
Aragon: 32/6 Francesca: 81/6
81/6 - 32/6 = 49/6 = 8 1/6

Bob cut down 8 apple trees in his backyard because he hates nature. He left
1/7 of an apple tree because the stump was too hard to get rid of. This was an unsustainable view on the world and God's creation, so Bob changed his mind later and planted 4 fig trees. Including the stump as a fraction of a tree, how many less trees does Bob have than before he cut any down? Calculate using improper fractions and express the answer as a mixed numeral.
8 trees in the beginning
1/7 trees left.
8 - 4 1/7 = 8/1 - 29/7
= 56/7 - 29/7 = 27/7 = 3 6/7 trees left
6/16 + 1/8 + 3 4/5
3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8
4/8 = 1/2
1/2 + 19/5 = 5/10 + 38/10 = 43/10
1/1 divide 1/12 = 1/1 times 12/1 = 12/1 = 12 batches.
