Here is an example, say what is 0.7 equivalent to a fraction? It is 7/10ths we have one more example, 1/4 of 1 is 0.25 stay tuned for more strategies.<span id="docs-internal-guid-8e5722d7-ae68-5a8c-8ff2-bc92a2197412"></span></div>Mr. Barkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07552916535867128975noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611089781009963672.post-28739649074475197862014-03-17T09:00:00.000+13:002014-03-17T09:00:02.546+13:00Adding and Subtracting fractions with common denominators<iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="349" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V0drgTa-KJI7NENqCoukEB1a0SKcam365ZRQSpVXvRU/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="340"></iframe><br />

Remember that your thinking is much more important than an answer.</span><br />
<br />
1. A water pitcher weighs 0.64 kg when empty and 1.728 kg when filled with water. <b>How much does the water weigh?</b><br />
<br />
2. A cyclist has travelled 145.8 km in the first stage of a race, 136.65 km in the second stage and 162.62 km in the third. <b>How many km must the cyclist still complete if the entire race is 1000 km in length?</b><br />
<br />
3. In a well filled with water, 184.5 litres are remove followed by 128.75 litres and finally 84.5 litres. After these withdrawals, there are 160 litres in the well. <b>How much water did the well originally have?
</b><br />
<br />
4. There are 240 boxes with 25 bags of coffee each. If each bag wighs 0.62 kg, <b>what is the total weight of all the coffee? </b><br />
<br />
5. Knowing that 2.077m3 air weighs 2.7 kg, calculate <b>how much 1m3 of air weighs</b>.<br />
<br />
6. Eva is on a diet which states that she cannot consume more than 600 calories in one meal. Yesterday she had lunch: 125 g of bread, 140 g of asparagus, 45 g of cheese and an apple of 130 g. If 1 g of bread has 3.3 calories, 1 g of asparagus, 0.32 calories, 1 g of cheese, 1.2 calories and 1 g of an apple has 0.52 calories. <b>Did Eva follow her diet?

We played it a couple of different ways. In the first game we played so that the first person to add their scores to 1 were the winner. In the second, we played so that the last person to get to 1 was the winner. If you use three dice, you will be able to use thousandths too. Have some fun learning about decimals.
