Essential Question How Can You Estimate the Sum of Two Fractions?

A.
Mr. Fish is welding together two copper pipes to repair a leak. He will use the pipes shown. Is the new pipe closer to \(\frac{1}{2}\) foot or 1 foot long? Explain.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answer Key Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 16.8

B.
Step 1
Replace each fraction with the nearest half or whole. A number line can make it easy to decide if each fraction is closest to 0, \(\frac{1}{2}\), or 1.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answer Key Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 17.1
\(\frac{1}{6}\) is between 0 and 2, but is closer to 0.
\(\frac{5}{12}\) is also between 0 and 2, but is closer to the benchmark fraction \(\frac{1}{2}\).

C.
Step 2
Add to find the estimate.
A good estimate of \(\frac{1}{6}\) + \(\frac{5}{12}\) is 0 + \(\frac{1}{2}\), or \(\frac{1}{2}\). So, the welded pipes will be closer to 2 foot than 1 foot long

Since each addend is less than 5, it is reasonable that their sum is less than 1.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answer Key Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 17.2

Convince Me! Critique Reasoning Nolini says that if the denominator is more than twice the numerator, the fraction can always be replaced with 0. Is she correct? Give an example in your explanation.
Answer: Yes,
It depends on how accurate you want your answer to be, but basically yes, imagine we set our numerator to be x, and our denominator to be 2x, if we built our fraction we will get that:  If the denominator of a fraction is exactly twice the numerator, then the fraction will be simplified to 1/2 or 0.5.Now, the greater the denominator is, the closer the fraction will get to zero.
Take for example I had an fraction like this:

which approximates to 0. If we made the denominator bigger, let’s say 7, we would get: 
notice the answer is closer to 0 this time, so it’s valid to round it to zero. If we made the denominator greater, let’s say 25, we would get: and so on. So it is true that if the denominator of a fraction is greater than twice the numerator, we can always replace the fraction with a 0
(depending on how accurate you want your answer to be).

Guided Practice

Do You Understand?

Question 1.
In the problem at the top of page 270, would you get the same estimate if Mr. Fish’s pipes measured foot and \(\frac{7}{12}\) foot?
Answer:
Yes, The estimation would be the same because Mr. Fish’s pipes measured foot is \(\frac{1}{6}\) + \(\frac{5}{12}\) = 0.5 and the \(\frac{7}{12}\) = 0.5

Question 2.
Number Sense If a fraction has a 1 in the numerator and a number greater than 2 in the denominator, will the fraction be closer to 0, \(\frac{1}{2}\), or 1? Explain.
Answer:
If a fraction has a 1 in the numerator and a number greater than 2 in the denominator, will the fraction be closer to \(\frac{1}{2}\) because the numerator is 1 and the denominator is 2 that means \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0.5

Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answer Key Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 16.26

Convince Me! Construct Arguments in the example above, would you get the same sum if you used 12 as the common denominator? Explain.
Answer:
Step 1:
Place 112 fractions strips under the 1 whole strip on your Matboard. Then place a 14 fraction strip beside the 112 strips.
Step 2:
Find fraction strips, all with the same denominator, that are equivalent to 112 and 14. Place the fraction strips under the sum. At the right, draw a picture of the model and write the equivalent fractions.
14 x 33 = 312
112
Step 3:
Add the fractions with like denominators. Use the 1 whole strip to rename the sum in the simplest form.
312 + 112 = 412

Another Example
Find \(\frac{5}{12}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\).
\(\frac{5}{12}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{5}{12}\) + \(\frac{3}{12}\) Write equivalent fractions with common denominators.
= \(\frac{5+3}{12}\) = \(\frac{8}{12}\) or \(\frac{2}{3}\) Find the total number of twelfths by adding the numerators.

Guided Practice

Do You Understand?

Question 1.
In the example at the top of page 278, if the park was \(\frac{1}{8}\) mile from baseball practice instead of \(\frac{1}{3}\) mile, how far would Alex ride his scooter in all?
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{8}\) mile from baseball and \(\frac{1}{2}\) park to home then:
\(\frac{1}{8}\) = \(\frac{1}{8}\) x \(\frac{2}{2}\) = \(\frac{2}{16}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x \(\frac{8}{8}\) = \(\frac{8}{16}\)
So, \(\frac{2}{16}\) + \(\frac{8}{16}\) = \(\frac{10}{16}\) or \(\frac{5}{8}\)

Question 2.
Vocabulary Rico and Nita solved the same problem. Rico got \(\frac{6}{8}\) for an answer, and Nita got \(\frac{3}{4}\). Which answer is correct? Use the term equivalent fraction in your explanation.
Answer:
No, They both were wrong. Rico and Nita got wrong answer. The answer is \(\frac{5}{8}\).
\(\frac{1}{8}\) mile from baseball and \(\frac{1}{2}\) park to home then:
\(\frac{1}{8}\) = \(\frac{1}{8}\) x \(\frac{2}{2}\) = \(\frac{2}{16}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x \(\frac{8}{8}\) = \(\frac{8}{16}\)
So, \(\frac{2}{16}\) + \(\frac{8}{16}\) = \(\frac{10}{16}\) or \(\frac{5}{8}\)

Answer:-  No, That is not possible because Linda had \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a yard that is 0.6 yard then how can she use 1 yard of fabric that is why Sandra says this is not possible. So, here Sandra is correct in her way and Linda cannot use the 1 yard of fabric.

Guided Practice

Do You Understand?

Question 1.
In the example on page 282, is it possible to use a common denominator greater than 12 and get the correct answer? Why or why not?
Answer: We use the common denominator by figuring common multiply factors in the fraction if in the above example if we got common factor which is greater than 12 then it is always possible to get denominator which is greater than 12.
In the above example if we got common factor as 20 then it is easy to get denominator which is actually greater than 12 and if not we have to go with the common factor either 12 or below 12.

Question 2.
In the example on page 282, if Linda had started with one yard of fabric and used \(\frac{5}{8}\) of a yard, how much fabric would be left?
Answer: Linda had one yard of fabric and she used \(\frac{5}{8}\) of a yard, The she left with 1 – \(\frac{5}{8}\) = 0.4

Question 21.
Higher Order Thinking Find two fractions with a difference of \(\frac{1}{5}\) but with neither denominator equal to 5.
Answer:
There an infinite family of solutions. Any two fractions of the form:
(a+ b)/5a and b/5a
will work. Thus,
(a+b)/5a – b/5a = (a+b-b)/5a = a/5a = 1/5
of course, you can multiply each of the above fraction by 1, written as c/c, so you have c(a+b)/5ac if you wish to further obfuscate things. Similarly, you can also multiply the second fraction by 1 to get bd/5bd.
I’m sure there are other general answers as well, if an infinity of solutions is insufficient. You may wish to be sure that the product ac is even, so 5 won’t appear at all in the fraction as the last digit.

\(\frac{17}{15}\) – \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{17}{15}\) = \(\frac{17}{15}\)  x \(\frac{3}{3}\) = \(\frac{51}{45}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) x \(\frac{15}{15}\) = \(\frac{15}{45}\)
\(\frac{51}{45}\) –  \(\frac{15}{45}\) = \(\frac{36}{45}\)

Question 12.
\(\frac{7}{16}\) + \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{7}{16}\) = \(\frac{7}{16}\)  x \(\frac{8}{8}\)  = \(\frac{56}{128}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\) = \(\frac{3}{8}\) x \(\frac{16}{16}\) = \(\frac{48}{128}\)
\(\frac{56}{128}\)  + \(\frac{48}{128}\)  = \(\frac{8}{128}\)

Question 13.
\(\frac{2}{5}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Answer:
\(\frac{14}{24}\) – \(\frac{16}{24}\) = – \(\frac{2}{24}\)

Question 17.
\(\frac{11}{12}\) – \(\frac{4}{6}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{66}{72}\) – \(\frac{48}{72}\) = \(\frac{18}{72}\)

Question 18.
\(\frac{7}{18}\) + \(\frac{5}{9}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{63}{162}\) + \(\frac{90}{162}\) = \(\frac{153}{162}\)

Question 19.
(\(\frac{7}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{12}\)) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{84}{108}\) + \(\frac{8}{108}\) = \(\frac{92}{108}\)

\(\frac{184}{216}\) – \(\frac{92}{216}\) = \(\frac{92}{216}\)

Question 20.
(\(\frac{11}{18}\) – \(\frac{4}{9}\)) + \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Answer:
\(\frac{99}{162}\) – \(\frac{72}{162}\) = \(\frac{29}{162}\)
\(\frac{174}{648}\) + \(\frac{162}{648}\) = \(\frac{12}{648}\)

Question 21.
\(\frac{13}{14}\) – (\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{2}{7}\))
Answer:
\(\frac{7}{14}\) + \(\frac{4}{14}\) = \(\frac{11}{14}\)
\(\frac{13}{14}\) – \(\frac{11}{14}\) = \(\frac{2}{14}\)

Question 22.
\(\frac{1}{6}\) + (\(\frac{15}{15}\) – \(\frac{7}{10}\))
Answer:
\(\frac{150}{150}\) – \(\frac{105}{150}\) = \(\frac{45}{150}\)
\(\frac{150}{900}\) + \(\frac{270}{900}\) = \(\frac{420}{900}\)

Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answers Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 57.2

B.
One Way

Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answers Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 57.3
Jamila’s mom needs about 4 yards of fabric.

C.
Another Way
Use \(\frac{1}{2}\) as a benchmark fraction.
Replace each fraction with the nearest \(\frac{1}{2}\) unit.
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) is close to 1\(\frac{1}{2}\).
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) is halfway between 2 and 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

You can replace 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) with 2\(\frac{1}{2}\).
Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answers Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 57.4
So, 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) + 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) is about 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) = 4.

Topic 7 Reteaching

Set A
pages 269-272
Estimate the sum or difference by replacing each fraction with 0, \(\frac{1}{2}\), or 1.
Estimate \(\frac{4}{5}\) + \(\frac{5}{8}\)
Step 1
\(\frac{4}{5}\) is close to 1.
Step 2
\(\frac{5}{8}\) is close to \(\frac{4}{8}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Step 3
1 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Step 1
\(\frac{7}{12}\) is closes to \(\frac{6}{12}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Step 2
\(\frac{1}{8}\) is close to 0.
Step 3
\(\frac{1}{2}\) – 0 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
So, \(\frac{7}{12}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) is about \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Remember that you can use as number line to decide if a fraction is closest to 0, \(\frac{1}{2}\), or 1.

Estimate each sum or difference.

Answer:

Set B
pages 273-276

Find a common denominator for \(\frac{4}{9}\) and \(\frac{1}{3}\). Then rename each fraction as an equivalent fraction with the common denominator.

Step 1
Multiply the denominators:
9 × 3 = 27, so 27 is a common denominator.
Step 2
Rename the fractions:
\(\frac{4}{9}\) = \(\frac{4}{9}\) × \(\frac{3}{3}\) = \(\frac{4}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{9}{9}\) = \(\frac{9}{27}\)
So, \(\frac{4}{9}\) = \(\frac{12}{27}\) and \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{9}{27}\).

Remember you can check to see if one denominator is a multiple of the other. Since 9 is a multiple of 3, another common denominator for the fractions and is 9. Find a common denominator. Then rename each fraction as an equivalent fraction with the common denominator.

Answer:

Set C
pages 277-280, 281-284, 285-288

Find \(\frac{5}{6}\) – \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Step 1
Find a common denominator by listing multiples of 6 and 4.
6:6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42
4:4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32
12 is a common multiple of 6 and 4, so use 12 as the common denominator.

Step 2
Use the Identity Property to write equivalent fractions.
\(\frac{5}{6}\) = \(\frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2}\) = \(\frac{10}{12}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3}\) = \(\frac{9}{12}\)

Step 3
Subtract.
\(\frac{10}{12}\) – \(\frac{9}{12}\) = \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Remember to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number when writing an equivalent fraction.

Answer:

Set D
pages 289-292

Estimate 5\(\frac{1}{3}\) + 9\(\frac{9}{11}\)
To round a mixed number to the nearest whole number, compare the fraction part of the mixed number to \(\frac{1}{2}\).
If the fraction part is less than \(\frac{1}{2}\), round to the nearest lesser whole number.
5\(\frac{1}{3}\) rounds to 5.
If the fraction part is greater than or equal to \(\frac{1}{2}\), round to the nearest greater whole number.
9\(\frac{9}{11}\) rounds to 10.
So, 5\(\frac{1}{3}\) + 9\(\frac{9}{11}\) ≈ 5 + 10 = 15.

Find 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) – 1\(\frac{5}{6}\). Rename 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) as 2\(\frac{2}{6}\)
Step 1
Model the number you are subtracting from, 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) or 2\(\frac{2}{6}\)
Since \(\frac{5}{6}\) > \(\frac{2}{6}\), rename 1 whole as \(\frac{6}{6}\)
Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answers Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 90.5
Step 2
Cross out the number you are subtracting, 1\(\frac{5}{6}\).
Envision Math Common Core Grade 5 Answers Topic 7 Use Equivalent Fractions to Add and Subtract Fractions 90.6
The answer is the amount that is left.
So, 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) – 1\(\frac{5}{6}\) = \(\frac{3}{6}\) or \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Remember that the difference is the part of the model that is not crossed out. Use a model to find each difference.
