Answer key and explanations

  1. C. \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup

    Tripling means we multiply by \(3\). Since each part is \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup, we get \(3\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\) cup.

  2. C. \(3\frac{1}{3}\) meters

    We multiply the whole number by the fraction. Ava has 5 necklaces, each with \(\frac{2}{3}\) meter of beads: \(5\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{10}{3}\) meters, which is \(3\frac{1}{3}\) meters.

  3. A. \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound

    We multiply the number of candies by the weight of each: \(6\times\frac{1}{8}=\frac{6}{8}\) pound. Simplify \(\frac{6}{8}\) to get \(\frac{3}{4}\) pound.

  4. C. \(2\) miles

    Noah jogs \(\frac{1}{2}\) mile each day for 4 days. We multiply: \(4\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\) miles.

  5. C. \(1\frac{1}{2}\) dollars

    In 2 weeks, Mia receives her allowance twice. So we have \(2\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{4}\) dollars, which simplifies to \(1\frac{1}{2}\) dollars.

  6. B. \(\frac{12}{4}\) (or \(3\) wholes)

    Each whole bar shows 4 fourths. If we use 3 whole bars, we have \(3\times4=12\) fourths total, which is \(\frac{12}{4}\) or 3 wholes.

  7. B. \(\frac{8}{3}\) cups

    Making the recipe 4 times means we multiply by 4. We get \(4\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\) cups of flour.

  8. B. \(\frac{3}{5}\) ounce

    Emma has 3 stickers, and each weighs \(\frac{1}{5}\) ounce. We multiply: \(3\times\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{5}\) ounce.
