What’s the Error?

  • Question 15 (request help)

    Megan is making pennants from a piece of butcher paper that is \(10\cfrac{3}{8}\) yards long. Each pennant requires \(\cfrac{3}{8}\) yard of paper. To estimate the number of pennants she could make, Megan estimated the quotient \(10\cfrac{3}{8}\div\cfrac{3}{8}\).

    Look at how Megan solved the problem. Find her error

    \(\begin{align}
    \text{Estimate :} \\
    10\cfrac{3}{8}\div\cfrac{3}{8}\\
    10\div\cfrac{1}{2} = 5\\
    \end{align}
    \)

    Correct the error. Estimate the quotient.

    So, Megan can make about _____ pennants.

    • Describe the error that Megan made
    • Explain Tell which compatible numbers you used to estimate \(10\cfrac{3}{8}\div\cfrac{3}{8}\). Explain why you chose those numbers.
  • Type below:

For numbers 16a–16c, estimate to compare. Choose <, >, or =.

  • Question 16 (request help)

    16a. \(18\cfrac{3}{10}\div2\cfrac{5}{6}\)  ?   \(30\cfrac{7}{9}\div3\cfrac{1}{3}\)

  • Question 16 (request help)

    16b. \(17\cfrac{4}{5}\div6\cfrac{1}{6}\)  ?   \(19\cfrac{8}{9}\div4\cfrac{5}{8}\)
  •    
  • Question 16 (request help)

    16c. \(35\cfrac{5}{6}\div6\cfrac{1}{4}\)     \(11\cfrac{5}{7}\div2\cfrac{3}{4}\)
