Find the area of a rectangle with a width of 10in and a length of 6in. 

Area= length x width, so because 10x6=60, the answer is 60 sq in (because the unit of area is the squares of an array).

What does a denominator and numerator signify in the fraction 7/10.

Denominator is how many equal pieces the whole is cut into, which is 10. 

Numerator is how many of those pieces we are addressing in the problem, which is 7 of the 10.

1,245-599

Because 599 is almost 600, leave 1,245 alone, then subtract 600. Then add one back on because you subtracted one too many. 

1,245-600=645              *Base fact 12-6=6

Answer 646

Find the quotient of 77/4

4 x n = 77

4 x 10 = 40

4 x 8 = 32

4 x 1 = 4.   So 77/4=19r1

Which fractions can be represented in a decimal:

4/10

2/4

12/100

2/9

4/10 .4

2/4 is half, which is .5

12/100 is .12 

Only 2/9th cannot be a decimal!

You have 86 feet of string, and need to make necklaces that use 3 feet each. What is the maximum number of necklaces you could make? 
Create expression using a mystery number

Find however many 3s get you as close to 86 without going over. 

That is the maximum you could make, but there could be leftovers that are less than 3.

What is the lowest common denominator for: 


5/8         7/10

Now make equivalents using the LCD and compare.

40!


5/8 can be cut into 25/40 using the knife strategy

7/10 is equivalent to 28/40. So 7/10 is greater.

The perimeter of a rectangular yard is 46ft. The length is 15ft. What is the width?

I know 2 of the sides (15ft + 15ft), so I just need to make the other 2 sides (n + n) equal whatever is left.

What is greater, and why?  .7 and .45

.7 is greater because .7 = .70 in hundredths

You can also see .7 is greater because if you round .45 down to .4, you can see it only has 4 tenths, instead of 7.

A kid wakes up at 6:15, but shuts their alarm off for an hour. Then they take 30 minutes to eat breakfast. Then before leaving. Then it takes 20 minutes to walk to school. What time is it when they get to school? 

6:15 plus an hour is 7:15

Plus 30 minutes is 7:45

Plus 20 minutes is 8:05

43,848. How many times greater  is the 4 in the place value place on the left than the 4 on the right?

The left 4 = 40,000

The right 4 is 40.

40,000 is 1,000 times greater, because two spaces holders were needed to turn 40 into 40,000, and every jump is x10.
