Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.58 Represent Fraction Word Problems with Bar Models and Equations skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A student checks 1/5 + 7/12. Which comparison supports that the sum is less than 1?
A7/12 needs 5/12 more to make 1, and 1/5 is greater than 5/12
B7/12 needs 5/12 more to make 1, and 1/5 is less than 5/12
C1/5 and 7/12 are both greater than 1/2, so the sum is greater than 1
DDifferent denominators mean the sum equals 1
Solution & Explanation:Seven twelfths is missing 5/12 from a whole. Since 1/5 is less than 5/12, the sum stays below 1.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A baker has 3/4 cup of frosting, adds 2/3 cup, and then uses 1/6 cup. Which bar model and equation represent the frosting left?
AA twelfths model showing 9/12 minus 8/12, then 2/12 added; n = 3/4 − 2/3 + 1/6
BA model split into sevenths because 3 + 4 = 7; n = 3/4 + 2/3 − 1/6
CA twelfths model showing 9/12 plus 8/12, then 2/12 crossed out; n = 3/4 + 2/3 − 1/6
DA twelfths model showing only 2/12 crossed out from 9/12; n = 3/4 − 1/6
Solution & Explanation:Use twelfths for all fractions. Adding 2/3 means adding 8/12 to 9/12, and using 1/6 means crossing out 2/12.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A flower bed has 5/12 planted with tulips and 1/6 planted with daisies. Which equation represents the part of the bed not planted with those flowers?
An = 1 + (5/12 + 1/6)
Bn = 5/12 − 1/6
Cn = (5/12 + 1/6) − 1
Dn = 1 − (5/12 + 1/6)
Solution & Explanation:The tulip and daisy parts are planted, so add them. The part not planted with those flowers is the whole bed minus that sum.
