Objectives: Enhance proficiency in understanding and manipulating fractions by creating and solving word problems.Develop the ability to accurately apply fraction operations and articulate solutions clearly.Directions: Create two-word problems where you can apply fractions. Then answer each word problem by showing your solutions. Write them on clean bond paper. Example:Emma is baking cookies, and she wants to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. She decides to use 3/4 cup of chocolate chips for the chocolate chip cookies and 2/3 cup of raisins for the oatmeal raisin cookies.If Emma combines the chocolate chips and raisins to make one big batch of cookies, how much total dried fruit does she need in terms of cups? Solve the problem by adding the fractions.Solution:Let's add the fractions:34+23​To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.Now, let's rewrite each fraction with the common denominator:34×33=912​23×44=812​Now, add the numerators and keep the common denominator:912+812=1712​So, 34+23=1712 cups of dried fruit.Since the answer is an improper fraction, we can also express it as a mixed number:1712=1512​Therefore, Emma needs 1512 cups of dried fruit in total for her combined batch of cookies.
