🗝️ ANSWER KEY — Teacher Copy

Do not distribute to students.

Part 1: Multiple Choice

1. B) 3/8 — (1×3) / (2×4) = 3/8

2. C) 2/5 — (2×3) / (3×5) = 6/15 = 2/5 (simplified)

3. C) 8/5 or 1 3/5 — 4/1 × 2/5 = 8/5 = 1 3/5

4. C) You multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Part 2: Solve It!

5. 3/4 × 2/3 = 6/12 = 1/2

6. 5/6 × 3/10 = 15/60 = 1/4

7. 3/4 × 1/2 = 3/8. Maya needs 3/8 cup of sugar.

8. 5 × 2/3 = 10/3 = 3 1/3 miles

Part 3: Think & Explain

9. Rectangle should show 2/3 shaded, then 1/2 of that double-shaded. Equation: 2/3 × 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3. The double-shaded part equals 1/3 of the whole.

10. Agree. Accept any valid example, e.g., 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6, which is smaller than both 1/2 and 1/3. Student explanation should demonstrate understanding that multiplying by a fraction less than 1 makes the number smaller.

Extension: Sample answers — 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6; 1/6 × 1/1 = 1/6; 2/3 × 1/4 = 2/12 = 1/6; 3/6 × 1/3 = 3/18 = 1/6. Accept any correct pair.
