Week 2 Discussion

Week 2: Fractions in Everyday Life

Fractions and mixed numbers are often used in everyday life. Discuss a real-life example in which you would need to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions or mixed numbers, and show the math.

Use * for multiplication and / for division, or click on the√x

√x icon on the discussion toolbar to find the × and ÷ signs. Don't use the x on the keyboard. That is the letter x, not the multiplication symbol.

For example: 

I run 1/8 mile every minute.  How many miles can I run in 30 minutes?

1/8 * 30
=1/8 * 30/1
= 30/8
= 15/4
= 3 3/4 miles

(notice how ALL computation is shown!)
