Sample questions

1. A rectangle has area 1/2 square meter and one side 1/2 meter. Draw and label a model, then find the missing side.
2. The quotient of 1 and 3/4 is 4/3. Create a multiplication equation that verifies this claim and explain the role of each number.
3. Could x = 8/3 satisfy 1/2 × x = 5/6? Check by substitution, then find the correct x.
4. Find x: 1/4 × x = 1/6. Write a related division equation.
5. Could x = 8/3 satisfy 1/4 × x = 5/12? Check by substitution, then find the correct x.
6. Solve (2/3) × x = 5/6. Write the related division equation, then check your answer by multiplication.
