Exploring Fractions Concepts

Help a food truck prepare and share its ingredients. Simplify answers when possible. Show your reasoning for calculation questions.

Read the Order Board

The truck has 2 1/2 pounds of cheese. It uses 3/4 pound for each tray of nachos. A salsa batch needs 2/3 cup of tomatoes. The truck has 1 1/2 cups of tomatoes.

1.The board lists 2 1/2 pounds of cheese. Which improper fraction is equivalent to 2 1/2?

2.Convert 11/4 pounds of cheese to a mixed number. How many whole pounds and what fraction of a pound is that?

3.A student says 7/5 is a proper fraction because 5 is bigger than 1. Is the student correct? Explain what makes a fraction improper.

Plan the Ingredients

Use the order-board information to solve each situation. Divide fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal; check that your answer makes sense.

4.The truck has 2 1/2 pounds of cheese and uses 3/4 pound per tray. How many full trays can it make, and how much cheese will remain?

5.The recipe uses 2/3 cup of tomatoes per salsa batch. With 1 1/2 cups available, how many batches can the truck make?

6.For a smaller order, the cook needs 3/5 of the usual 2/3 cup of tomatoes. How many cups are needed?

7.Put these amounts in order from least to greatest: 3/4, 2/3, and 5/6. Use the number line to help.

8.Each tray is divided into 8 equal sections. The cook tops 5 sections with cheese. What fraction of the tray has cheese?

9.If the truck had enough cheese to prepare 6 trays, with each tray using 3/4 pound, how many pounds of cheese would be used altogether?

10.Write a story problem about sharing 3/4 of a pound of cheese equally among 3 customers. Then solve it.
