Answer key · Set A
Sharing makes a fraction
11/3 Cut the loaf into 3 equal parts. Each child takes 1 part, so each gets 1/3.
24/5 4 loaves shared by 5 children is 4 ÷ 5. The loaves shared go on top, so each child gets 4/5.
33 ÷ 5 A fraction is a division. The top number is shared by the bottom number: 3 ÷ 5.
4C Cut the pizza into 8 equal parts and each child takes 1. One child's share is 1/8.
53/7 3 ÷ 7 is 3/7. The 3 loaves go on top and the 7 children go on the bottom.
61 1/7 8 ÷ 7 = 8/7. That is 1 whole loaf and 1/7 more. Each child gets more than 1 loaf because there are more loaves than children.
7False The loaves shared go on top: 2 ÷ 5 = 2/5. Each child gets less than 1 loaf.
8True 5 ÷ 2 = 5/2, which is 2 and a half loaves.
