5 x 5 = 25 hours
925/25=185 customers
When the
numerators are
the same, the
fraction with the
larger
denominator is
smaller.

Changing the way factors are
grouped does not change the
product. There should be the
same three factors on each side
of the equation. This equation
illustrates the associative
property of multiplication.
Set the Purpose
•
•
In previous lessons you have solved
equations.
Today you will draw a picture to help
you decide what operation is needed
to write and solve an equation.
What operation is
needed to solve a
problem with fractions?

About how far do you ride your
bike when you go biking?
A few blocks
2 miles
Pose the Problem
Michelle rode her bike mile on
Thursday, mile on Friday, and mile
on Saturday. How far did she ride her
bike in all? Draw a bar diagram, choose
an operation, and write an equation to
solve the problem.
Share your work.
Whole Class Discussion
What information are you given?
How many miles Michelle rode on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday.
Draw this part of your bar diagram:
Whole Class Discussion
What do you need to find?
The total distance that Michelle rode her bike.
Draw a box of equal length above your bar diagram
and label it "x miles in all".
Whole Class Discussion
Based on the bar diagram what equation can you write?
Whole Class Discussion
Why should you use addition to solve this problem?
Because the problem asks for the total. Also, the 3 sections
of the bar diagram need to equal the total amount, or "x".
Whole Class Discussion
So what is the sum?
How many miles did Michelle ride
her bike in all?
2 miles
Small Group Interaction
With your partner, solve the following problem:
How much farther did Michelle ride her bike on
Friday than on Saturday?
Draw a picture and write an equation to solve.
Remember, she rode 3/4 of a mile Friday and 2/4 of a
mile on Saturday.
Small Group Interaction
What information are you given?
How many miles Michelle rode on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday.
What do you need to find?
How many more miles she rode on Friday
than Saturday.
Small Group Interaction
Draw your bar diagram
The distance she rode Friday goes in the "total" box at the
top because this number will be the greatest.
The smaller distances will add up to the total
distance she rode Friday.
Small Group Interaction
Based on this bar diagram, what
operation did you use to write your
equation?
What is the
equation?
subtraction
Small Group Interaction
So, how much farther
did she ride on Friday
than Saturday?
1/4 mile farther

Yes, the model would look like this:
Example:
Sam had 1/3 cup of milk and 1/3 cup of
juice. What is the total amount of beverage
Sam has?

Both are correct. Daryll has 12 books and 9
are about space. 9/12 is equivalent to 3/4.
Yes. The opposite
sides of a
parallelogram are
congruent, or equal.
So, if one side is 8
inches, the opposite
side is 8 inches.
There are 40 inches
left, so each of the
longer sides is 20
inches.
