How To Add Fractions With Number Lines



i was running 8 miles away. i had already run 3/4 of the way. to find how far i'd traveled from my front door. i did 8 times 3 and got 24. then i divided by 4 and i got 6. six miles i had run in my brand new kicks!


How To Add Fractions With Number Lines, multiplying whole numbers by fractions is awesome. yea! well here's a similar problem. we'll not have forgotten. multiply by the top. divide by the bottom. i was riding to the video game shop.


i had ridden 5/6 of 12 city blocks. how far i had gone is what i wanted to find. 12 times 5 is what i multiplied. i got 60 and then divided by 6. i had ridden 10 blocks and did a cool bike trick. a girl used repeated addition to see.. if she could use the strategy to solve 1/2 times 3. she thought fast, and then it came like a flash! that 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 is 3 halves.


she converted 3 halves to 1 and a half. she had a crush that would last. it was a crush on math!
