🎨 Part 1: Recipe Fractions

You're making friendship bracelets for your craft fair! Use fraction multiplication and division to solve these problems.

1. Each bracelet needs 3/4 metres of string. If you want to make 8 bracelets, how much string do you need in total?

2. You have 15/2 metres of ribbon. Each bookmark needs 3/4 metres of ribbon. How many bookmarks can you make?

3. A small painted rock uses 1/6 of a paint tube. If you use 2/3 of a paint tube, how many rocks can you paint?

🧵 Part 2: Craft Shop Calculations

4. Which calculation shows how to find 2/5 × 3/7?

(2 × 7) ÷ (5 × 3)

(2 × 3) ÷ (5 × 7)

(2 + 3) ÷ (5 + 7)

(2 × 5) ÷ (3 × 7)

5. You're dividing 4/9 ÷ 2/3. Which steps are correct? (Check all that apply)

Change division to multiplication

Flip the second fraction (find reciprocal)

Add the numerators together

Multiply across: numerator × numerator, denominator × denominator

6. Calculate: 5/8 × 4/15 = ________

7. Calculate: 7/12 ÷ 14/9 = ________

🎭 Part 3: Craft Fair Planning

8. Your craft table is 3/4 metres wide. You want to divide it into equal sections that are each 1/8 metres wide. How many sections will you have?

9. You're making clay pots. Each pot needs 2/3 kg of clay. You have 5 1/3 kg of clay available. Show your work to find how many complete pots you can make.

10. Fill in the missing numbers to complete these fraction operations:

a) 3/5 × ___/4 = 9/20

b) ___/7 ÷ 2/3 = 15/14

c) 4/9 × 3/8 = ___/___

🏆 Part 4: Design Challenge

11. Match each word problem with the correct mathematical operation:

1. Finding 1/4 of 2/3 cup of paint

2. How many 1/6 metre pieces from 3/4 metre fabric

3. Sharing 5/8 pizza equally among 3 people

4. Doubling a recipe that calls for 3/7 cup flour

A. 3/4 ÷ 1/6

B. 1/4 × 2/3

C. 2 × 3/7

D. 5/8 ÷ 3

12. Design your own craft problem! Create a word problem that requires multiplying fractions. Include the question and show the solution.

13. Draw a visual model (like rectangles, circles, or arrays) to show 2/3 × 3/4:

🌟 Part 5: Craft Business Challenge

14. You're running a craft workshop. Each student needs 3/8 metres of fabric for their project. If 12 students attend, how much fabric do you need to buy? Show your calculation and explain your reasoning.

15. Challenge Problem: You have 7 1/2 metres of wire. You want to make keychains that each use 5/6 metres of wire. After making as many complete keychains as possible, how much wire will be left over?

16. Reflection: Explain in your own words when you multiply fractions versus when you divide fractions in real-life craft situations.
