Lewis

im stuck on q7

Mr Warbrick

9:11

Okay Lewis. Start by converting both numbers to improper fractions. So 5 1/8 = 41/8. What is 1 3/8 =?

Lewis

9:11

11/8

Mr Warbrick

9:11

Good! So then you're doing 41/8 - 11/8 =

Lewis

9:12

30/8

Mr Warbrick

9:12

Great! Now convert back to improper

Mixed number sorry

9:13

Well done, I can see you got to the correct answer!

Grace

Hi

Mr Warbrick

9:15

Good morning Grace!

Are you able to log on to LbQ Grace? Your name isn't yet on screen

Lewis

I'm stuck on question 11

Mr Warbrick

9:18

Okay Lewis. Multiplying fractions is quite straight forward. Times the numerator by the numerator, and the denominator by the denominator.

9:19

Because your multiplying by 5, just turn this into a fraction by writing it as 5/1

(Basically, your denominator will stay the same!)

9:22

Okay, try it a different way. Instead of 7/10 x 5, what if it was written as 7/10 + 7/10 + 7/10 + 7/10 + 7/10 =

Lewis

9:22

I don't understand

Mr Warbrick

9:22

Multiplication is just repeated addition after all

So how many tenths would you have if you added it 5 times?

Lewis

9:23

I get it

9:24

3 5/10

is that it

Mr Warbrick

9:24

It wants it as an improper fraction

But yes, you're right as well

So 35/10 is what the system recognises at the answer

Grace

9:25

Mr Warbrick on maths yesterday I got Questions 2,3a,6 right and not wrong.

Mr Warbrick

9:25

I was correcting scores throughout the day Grace so don't worry about that!
