Questions
1) Hudson and Ryan were arguing
about who could eat more pizza
in one sitting. Hudson said that
he was able to 5/6 of a large
pizza from Dominos. Ryan said,
that’s nothing, I ate 20/24 of a
large Dominos pizza last night!
Who ate more pizza? Show your
work.
2) Find 3 equivalent fractions for
9/12. You must use both division
and multiplication in your
solutions.
Solution for Q1 and 2
1) 5/6 is equivalent to 20/24, therefore they ate the same
amount. I know this because if I multiply the
numerator and denominator of 5/6 both by 4, I get
20/24.
2) There are many possible solutions to this question. We
could use division to find simplest form of 9/12 which
is ¾ . We could use multiplication to get 18/24, 27/36,
etc.
Practice Questions:
Fractions Operations

a) 1/12 + 3/8 =
b) 5/6 – 7/10 =
c) 1 ½ x 8 ¾
d) 6/8 x 16/24 =
e) 2 2/3 ÷ 4/5 =
f) 6/7 ÷ 9 =
Solutions to Q3

Please note that for multiplication and division, you can simplify before solving 
Practice Questions:
Real Life Problems
4) According to the food label on a box cookies,
each box has 16 servings, and each serving
contains 4 cookies. The weight of the box of
cookies is 1/2 kilograms. What is the weight of
each cookie?
5) A baby otter was born 3/4 of a month early.
At birth, its weight was 7/8 kilograms, which is
9/10 kilogram less than the average weight of
newborn otter in the aquarium. What is the
average weight of newborn otter?
Solutions to Q4 and 5
4) First we need to find how many cookies there are in
total, which is 16 x 4 = 64. Then we need to divide ½ kg
by 64.

Question 6: How much would this
Tablet cost after the discount and tax?
Solution to Q6
There are a couple of ways to solve this problem. The
most common way that we talked about in class was to
find 62% of $279.99 x 0.62 = $173.59
Then we add the tax by doing 173.59 x 1.13 = $196.16
Question 7:
Barton’s
Rocking Rides

• Mr. GT buys a car


from a very shady
dealership called
Barton’s Rocking
Rides. I pay $8000
for a used Honda
Civic. Each year, the
car depreciates
(goes down in value)
buy 10%. How much
Solution to Q7
We are not able to simply take 30% off of $8000 for this question.
Instead, we need to take 10% off at a time. This is because we will
be calculating the percent depreciation off of a lower value each
time.
Step 1: 8000 x 0.1 = 800
8000 – 800 = 7200
Step 2: 7200 x 0.1 = 720
7200 – 720 = 6480
Step 3: 6480 x 0.1 = 648
6480 – 648 = $5832
The will be work $5832 after three years.
Unit Rates
Practice
Question 8
Solution to Q8
i) 9:1
ii) 1:2
iii) 5:6

b) The ratio of red squares to total is originally 18:24. If we


increase the rectangle to 9 by 4, it will have 36 squares in total.
We need to find an equivalent ratio for 18:24 with a total
squares of 36.
First, we can find simplest form of 18:24 by dividing both
numbers by 6 to get 3:4. Since the total is 36, we multiply both
numbers by 9 to get an equivalent ratio of 27:36
Practice Question
9: Iglooooooo
Nevin is building a giant igloo in preparation for
the next ice age. He uses giant ice blocks to
build it. For every 18 ice blocks he puts
together, it takes him 6 minutes.
a) How many pieces does he put together per
minute (unit rate)?

b) How long, in minutes, does it take Nevin to


build his igloo if it takes 255 ice blocks?
Solution to Q9
a) Nevin can build 18 ice blocks/6 minutes. The unit rate
would be found by dividing both numbers by 6 to get 3
ice blocks/minute.
b) 255 ÷ 3 = 85 minutes
Practice Question 10
There is going to be a race between Mr.
Trood and Mr. Lorenz. When training for the
race, Mr. Johnson calculated how fast they
could run. Here are his findings:

• Mr. Lorenz runs 50 meters / 20 seconds

• Mr. Trood runs 70 meters / 35 seconds

a) Based on their training, who is faster?


Show your work (2 marks)

b) If he kept running at the same rate, how


far would Mr. Lorenz run in 2 minutes?
Solution to Q10
a) You could solve this a couple of different ways. The way
discussed in class is to find their unit rate for how fast they
run per second.
Mr. Trood’s rate of 70 meters/35 seconds gives him a unit rate
of 2 meters/second
Mr. Lorenz’s rate of 50 meters/20 seconds gives him a unit rate
of 2.5 meters/second.
Therefore Mr. Lorenz is faster.
b) We can find an equivalent rate to Mr. Lorenz’s 50 meters/
20 seconds. If we multiply both numbers by 6 we get 300
meters/120 seconds.

Question 11:
Cookie Recipe
A recipe calls for 375 g of
flour for every 50 g of sugar.
How much flour would you
need if you used 125 g of
sugar?
Solution to Q11
The given rate is 375g of flour/50g of sugar.
We could find the unit rate of how many grams of flour
are needed for each gram of sugar. To find this, we divide
both by 50 to get,
7.5g flour/gram sugar.
Then, we multiply our unit rate by 125 to get 937.5g
flour/125g sugar.
