Unlock the Problem

To practice for a race, Kara is running 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles. When she reaches the end of her street, she knows that she has already run 1 \(\frac{5}{6}\) miles. How many miles does Kara have left to run?

  • Underline the sentence that tells you what you need to find.
  • What operation should you use to solve the problem?

One Way

Subtract. 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 1\(\frac{5}{6}\)

STEP 1: Estimate the difference.

STEP 2: Find a common denominator. Use the common denominator to write equivalent fractions with like denominators.

STEP 3: Rename 2\(\frac{6}{12}\) as a mixed number with a fraction greater than 1.
Think: 2\(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1 + 1 + \(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1 + \(\frac{12}{12}\) + \(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1\(\frac{18}{12}\)
2\(\frac{6}{12}\) = __________

STEP 4: Find the difference of the fractions. Then find the difference of the whole numbers. Write the answer in simplest form. Check to make sure your answer is reasonable.

So, Kara has __________ mile left to run.
Answer:

STEP 1: Estimate the difference.

STEP 2: Find a common denominator. Use the common denominator to write equivalent fractions with like denominators.

STEP 3: Rename 2\(\frac{6}{12}\) as a mixed number with a fraction greater than 1.
Think: 2\(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1 + 1 + \(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1 + \(\frac{12}{12}\) + \(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1\(\frac{18}{12}\)
2\(\frac{6}{12}\) = 1\(\frac{18}{12}\)

STEP 4: Find the difference of the fractions. Then find the difference of the whole numbers. Write the answer in simplest form. Check to make sure your answer is reasonable.

So, Kara has  \(\frac{8}{12}\) mile left to run.

Question 1.
Estimate: _____________
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) – \(\frac{7}{8}\)
Answer: \(\frac{7}{8}\)
Explanation:
A common denominator of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{7}{8}\) is 8.
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) = 1\(\frac{6}{8}\) = \(\frac{8}{8}\) +\(\frac{6}{8}\) = \(\frac{14}{8}\)

12\(\frac{1}{9}\) – 7\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Answer: \(\frac{43}{9}\)
Explanation:
A common denominator of \(\frac{1}{9}\) and \(\frac{1}{3}\) is 9.
12\(\frac{1}{9}\) = 12\(\frac{1}{9}\) = \(\frac{9}{9}\)  + \(\frac{9}{9}\)+ + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\)+ \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\)+ \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\)+\(\frac{1}{9}\) = \(\frac{109}{9}\)
7\(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{9}{9}\)  + \(\frac{9}{9}\)+ + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\)+ \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{9}{9}\) + \(\frac{3}{9}\) =\(\frac{66}{9}\)
Find the difference of the fractions. Then write the answer in simplest form.
\(\frac{109}{9}\)–\(\frac{66}{9}\) = \(\frac{43}{9}\)

Question 7.
Communicate Why is it important to write equivalent fractions before renaming? Explain.
Answer:
Equivalent fractions and “fraction families” are not only used to help us add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, but they are a big part of understanding how to simplify fractions. … This makes it very easy for students to visualize the size of each fraction and how they are related to each other.

Problem Solving

A roller coaster has 3 trains with 8 rows per train. Riders stand in rows of 4, for a total of 32 riders per train. The operators of the coaster recorded the number of riders on each train during a run. On the first train, the operators reported that 7\(\frac{1}{4}\) rows were filled. On the second train, all 8 rows were filled, and on the third train, 5\(\frac{1}{2}\) rows were filled.

Use the summary to solve.

Question 18.
Chef Rossi makes 7\(\frac{5}{8}\) gallons of soup for the soup kitchen. She needs to fill a large container with a capacity of 9\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons. How many more gallons of soup does Chef Rassi need to make?
Answer: \(\frac{15}{8}\)
Explanation:
Chef Rossi makes 7\(\frac{5}{8}\) gallons of soup for the soup kitchen.
She needs to fill a large container with a capacity of 9\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons.
Chef Rassi need to make 1\(\frac{7}{8}\)  more gallons of soup
9\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 7\(\frac{5}{8}\)
\(\frac{61-76}{8}\)
\(\frac{15}{8}\)

Question 19.
Derek made a rope swing with a length of 5\(\frac{3}{4}\) feet. Nick’s rope swing is 6\(\frac{1}{8}\) feet long. How much longer is Nick’s swing than Derek’s swing?
Answer: \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Explanation:
Derek made a rope swing with a length of 5\(\frac{3}{4}\) feet.
Nick’s rope swing is 6\(\frac{1}{8}\) feet long.
\(\frac{3}{8}\) longer is Nick’s swing than Derek’s swing
6\(\frac{1}{8}\) – 5\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{49}{8}\) – \(\frac{46}{8}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)

Question 20.
Sasha and Lee are looking at the park’s list of hiking trails in order to choose a hike. How much farther will they have to hike if they choose Lake Trail instead of Woodland Trail?
(A) 4\(\frac{1}{3}\) miles
(B) 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) miles
(C) 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles
(D) 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles
Answer: D
Explanation:
Sasha and Lee are looking at the park’s list of hiking trails in order to choose a hike.
4\(\frac{1}{3}\) miles farther  they have to hike if they choose Lake Trail instead of Woodland Trail
4\(\frac{1}{3}\) – 2\(\frac{5}{6}\)
\(\frac{26-17}{6}\)

Question 21.
Lee and Sasha have hiked \(\frac{7}{8}\) mile on Meadow Trail. How much farther do they need to hike to get to the end of the trail?
(A) 2\(\frac{5}{8}\) miles
(B) 4 miles
(C) 4\(\frac{3}{8}\) miles
(D) \(\frac{3}{8}\) mile
Answer: A
Explanation:
Lee and Sasha have hiked \(\frac{7}{8}\) mile on Meadow Trail.
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) miles fartherthey need to hike to get to the end of the trail
3\(\frac{1}{2}\) – \(\frac{7}{8}\)
\(\frac{28-7}{8}\)
\(\frac{21}{8}\)

Question 22.
Mario renames the mixed numbers to fractions greater than 1 to find 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 2\(\frac{2}{3}\). Which fractions should Mario use to find the difference?
(A) \(\frac{27}{6}\), \(\frac{16}{6}\)
(B) \(\frac{24}{6}\), \(\frac{12}{6}\)
(C) \(\frac{27}{5}\), \(\frac{16}{5}\)
(D) \(\frac{7}{6}\), \(\frac{8}{6}\)
Answer: A
Mario renames the mixed numbers to fractions greater than 1 to find
4\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 2\(\frac{2}{3}\).
\(\frac{27}{6}\), \(\frac{16}{6}\) Mario used to find the difference
4\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 2\(\frac{2}{3}\).
\(\frac{9}{2}\),\(\frac{8}{3}\).
is renamed as
\(\frac{27}{6}\), \(\frac{16}{6}\)

Question 23.
Multi-Step Ian’s mother drives 8\(\frac{1}{5}\) miles to work each day. His father drives 9\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles round-trip between home and work. How much farther is Ian’s mother’s round-trip than his father’s?
(A) 6\(\frac{9}{10}\) miles
(B) 16\(\frac{2}{5}\) miles
(C) 7\(\frac{1}{10}\) miles
(D) 17\(\frac{7}{10}\) miles
Answer: A
8\(\frac{1}{5}\) x 2
= 16\(\frac{2}{5}\) miles
\(\frac{82}{5}\) – \(\frac{19}{2}\)
\(\frac{164-95}{10}\)
= 6\(\frac{9}{10}\) miles
Ian’s mother drives 8\(\frac{1}{5}\) miles to work each day.
His father drives 9\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles round-trip between home and work.
6\(\frac{9}{10}\) miles farther is Ian’s mother’s round-trip than his father’s.

Question 24.
Multi-Step Mrs. Holbrook’s delivery truck consumes 12 galLons of gasoline in three days. If 2\(\frac{4}{5}\) gallons of gas are consumed on the first day, and 3\(\frac{7}{10}\) gallons are consumed on the second day, how much is consumed on the third day?
(A) 6\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons
(B) 9\(\frac{1}{5}\) gallons
(C) 5\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons
(D) 8\(\frac{3}{10}\) gallons
Answer: C
Explanation:
Mrs. Holbrook’s delivery truck consumes 12 galLons of gasoline in three days.
If 2\(\frac{4}{5}\) gallons of gas are consumed on the first day,
and 3\(\frac{7}{10}\) gallons are consumed on the second day,
5\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of gas on third day
12 -2\(\frac{4}{5}\)  + 3\(\frac{7}{10}\)
12 – \(\frac{28+37}{10}\)
12 – \(\frac{65}{10}\)
5\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons
