Remember: Add the eighths. Then share them equally: when the total will not split, use smaller parts.
Add, then share
1
Each dot is a tub of paint. The numbers under the line count eighths of a gallon. How many eighths of a gallon of paint are there in all? eighths
2
The 17 eighths of paint are the same as how many gallons?

The paint is poured together and shared equally among the 4 tubs. How much is in each tub? Write a fraction of a gallon.
4
Is each tub's equal share more than 1/2 gallon, less than 1/2 gallon, or exactly 1/2 gallon?

5
After the paint is shared equally, how much less is in the fullest tub than before? Write a fraction of a gallon.

Three jars hold 5, 6 and 7 eighths of a cup. They are poured together and shared equally. How much is in each jar? Write a fraction of a cup.
