Estimating With Fractions and Mixed Numbers Lesson 4-1
Using Benchmarks With Fractions A benchmark is a convenient number used to replace fractions that are less than 1.
Estimating Sums and Differences Using Benchmarks Estimate as O when the numerator is very small compared to the denominator Estimate as ½ when the numerator is about half the denominator Estimate as 1 when the numerator and the denominator are nearly equal
Estimate to add Estimate ⅞ + ⅗ using benchmarks ⅞ 1 ⅗ ½ 1 + ½ = 1 ½ Use benchmarks to estimate each fraction and then add
Estimating with Mixed Numbers When a sum or difference involves mixed numbers, you can make a reasonable estimate by rounding to the nearest whole number 8 ⅕ - 4 ¾ 8 5 = 3 Round each mixed number and then subtract
Estimating Products To estimate a product of mixed numbers, round each mixed number to the nearest whole number, then multiply 2 ⅖ x 6 ⅟₉ 2 x 6 = 12 round each number then multiply
Estimating with Compatible Numbers To estimate a quotient of mixed numbers, you can use compatible numbers 43 ⅟₄ 5 ⁷ ₈ 42 6 = 7

Adding and Subtracting Fractions Lesson 4-2
Adding Fractions If the denominators are the same, add the numerators and keep the denominator ⅖ + ⅕ = ⅗
Adding Fractions If the denominators are different, find LCD, make equivalent fractions, add the numerators and keep the denominator ⅘ + ⅔ Find LCD and make equivalent fractions ¹² ₁₅ + ¹⁰ ₁₅ = ²² ₁₅ = 1 ⁷ ₁₅
Subtracting Fractions If the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator ⅖ - ⅕ = ⅕
Subtracting Fractions If the denominators are different, find LCD, make equivalent fractions, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator ⅘ - ⅔ Find LCD and make equivalent fractions ¹² ₁₅ - ¹⁰ ₁₅ = ² ₁₅

Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers Lesson 4-4
Three Easy Steps Find ⁵ ₆ x ⅔ Step 1: multiply numerators: 5 x 2 = 10 Step 2: multiply denominators: 6 x 3 = 18 Step 3: simplify: ¹⁰ ₁₈ = ⁵ ₉
Multiply x Whole Number What is ² ₇ of 28? Rewrite as: ² ₇ x ²⁸ ₁ Simplify before multiplying: ² ₁ x ⁴ ₁ Multiply numerators: 2 x 4 = 8 Multiply denominators: 1 x 1 = 1 Simplify: ⁸ ₁ = 8
Mixed Number x Mixed Number Find 2 ³ ₅ x 4 ½ Step 1: rewrite as improper fraction: ¹³ ₅ x ⁹ ₂ Step 2: multiply numerators: 13 x 9 = 117 Step 3: multiply denominators: 5 x 2 = 10 Step 4: simplify and write as a mixed number: ¹¹⁷ ₁₀ = 11 ⁷ ₁₀

Solving Equations With Fractions Lesson 4-6
Solving equations with fractions Use inverse operations to get the variable alone on one side of the equation Ex: x- ⅓ = ⁵ ₆ + ⅓ = ⁵ ₆ + ⅓ add ⅓ to each side x = ⁵ ₆ + ⅓ find common denominator x = ⁵ ₆ + ² ₆ x = ⁷ ₆ = 1¹ ₆ simplify
