Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.44 Interpret Multiplication as Scaling skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
For the same positive original amount, which list of multipliers would make the products decrease, stay the same, and increase in that order?
A4/7, 7/7, 9/7
B7/4, 7/7, 7/9
C9/7, 7/7, 4/7
D7/7, 4/7, 9/7
Solution & Explanation:A product decreases when the multiplier is less than 1, stays the same when the multiplier equals 1, and increases when the multiplier is greater than 1. The list 4/7, 7/7, 9/7 matches that order.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which explanation best matches the scaling idea for 84 * (14/14)?
AThe product is less than 84 because the expression has a fraction
BThe product is greater than 84 because 14 appears twice
CThe product is equal to 84 because 14/14 equals the benchmark 1
DThe product cannot be compared unless the exact product is written
Solution & Explanation:The multiplier 14/14 equals 1. Multiplying 84 by the benchmark 1 keeps the value equal to 84.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
For a positive value q, q × r is less than q but not zero. Which multiplier and reason could make this true?
Ar = 5/4 because it is greater than 1
Br = 4/4 because it equals 1
Cr = 3/4 because it is greater than 0 and less than 1
Dr = 0/4 because it equals 0
Solution & Explanation:To make a positive value smaller but not zero, the multiplier must be greater than 0 and less than 1. The fraction 3/4 fits.
