Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.57 Use Fraction Operations in Measurement and Recipe Contexts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A 7 2/5-liter cooler of lemonade had 3 5/6 liters served, then 1 1/3 liters added. How many liters were in the cooler? Choose the option that shows the correct operation and final amount.
A7 2/5 − 3 5/6 + 1 1/3 = 222/30 − 115/30 + 40/30 = 4 14/15 liters.
B7 2/5 − 3 5/6 + 1 1/3 = 222/30 − 115/30 + 40/30 = 4 9/10 liters.
C7 2/5 − 3 5/6 + 1 1/3 = 222/30 − 23/30 + 40/30 = 7 29/30 liters.
D7 2/5 − 3 5/6 + 1 1/3 = 222/30 + 115/30 + 40/30 = 12 17/30 liters.
Solution & Explanation:Use a common denominator of 30: 7 2/5 = 222/30, 3 5/6 = 115/30, and 1 1/3 = 40/30. Then 222/30 − 115/30 + 40/30 = 4 9/10, so the correct amount is 4 9/10 liters.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A bowl held 2 5/12 cups of dough. The cook added 3 1/3 cups more and then used 1 7/8 cups for rolls. How many cups remained? Select the option that correctly models the situation with fractions.
A2 5/12 + 3 1/3 − 1 7/8 = 58/24 + 80/24 − 45/24 = 3 7/8 cups.
B2 5/12 + 3 1/3 − 1 7/8 = 58/24 + 80/24 − 45/24 = 3 11/12 cups.
C2 5/12 + 3 1/3 − 1 7/8 = 58/24 + 10/24 − 45/24 = 23/24 cup.
D2 5/12 + 3 1/3 − 1 7/8 = 58/24 + 80/24 + 45/24 = 7 5/8 cups.
Solution & Explanation:Use a common denominator of 24: 2 5/12 = 58/24, 3 1/3 = 80/24, and 1 7/8 = 45/24. Then 58/24 + 80/24 − 45/24 = 3 7/8, so the correct amount is 3 7/8 cups.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A 9 1/2-mile bike route had 4 3/4 miles completed before a break and 2/3 mile completed after the break. How many miles remained? Which option shows a correct fraction addition or subtraction strategy?
A9 1/2 − 4 3/4 − 2/3 = 114/12 − 57/12 − 8/12 = 4 1/6 miles.
B9 1/2 − 4 3/4 − 2/3 = 114/12 − 19/12 − 8/12 = 7 1/4 miles.
C9 1/2 − 4 3/4 − 2/3 = 114/12 + 57/12 + 8/12 = 14 11/12 miles.
D9 1/2 − 4 3/4 − 2/3 = 114/12 − 57/12 − 8/12 = 4 1/12 miles.
Solution & Explanation:Use a common denominator of 12: 9 1/2 = 114/12, 4 3/4 = 57/12, and 2/3 = 8/12. Then 114/12 − 57/12 − 8/12 = 4 1/12, so the correct amount is 4 1/12 miles.
