Focus: Multiplying Mixed Numbers

Learning Target: I can use an equation with steps to multiply mixed numbers.

Task: COMPLETE the ENTRANCE TICKET without assistance. EVERY step should be shown.

NEXT, solve as many problems as needed to reach a total of 11 or more points. EVERY problem needs to be written down and solved in your notebook (or sheet of paper).

REMINDER: get every problem checked before going to another.

1 point problems

a. 2/5 x 4/7 b. 3/9 x 8/12

2 point problems

c. 2 2/3 x 3/5 d. 8/10 x 3 1/2

3 point problems

e. 1 2/5 x 3 2/5 f. 5 3/7 x 2 2/3

g. 2 3/7 x 3 1/5

5 point problems

h. 5 2/7 x 6 5/9 i. 4 7/8 x 8 5/6

10 point problems

j. 2 1/4 x 4 2/5 x 3 3/10 k. 6 1/2 x 2 2/3 x 1 3/4

ENTRANCE TICKET: For Earth Day, middle school students clean up the outside areas of the school's campus. Likely 3 4/5 gallon-sized garbage bags will be filled per acre while the fifth grade cleans up 2 2/5 acres of the school grounds. How many garbage bags will the four homerooms fill?

PROVE your answer is correct by explaining your thinking or through the problem(s) answer that you solved.
