standard_description: Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Mrs. Fowler knew that the perimeter of the soccer field was
$${{1\over6}}$$
mile. She walked
$$2{{{1\over6}}}$$
miles in total. How many times did she walk around the field? Show or explain your work.
Problem 2

a.
$${3{1\over2}}$$
b.
$${4{1\over4}}$$
c.
$${5{3\over5}}$$
Problem 3
Ben wrote the mixed number
$$7\frac{1}{3}$$
as a fraction. Here is his work:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:40%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$7\\frac{1}{3}= 7 + \\frac{1}{3}$$"}]}, {"_value": "(Step 1)"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$=\\frac{7}{1}+\\frac{1}{3}$$"}]}, {"_value": "(Step 2)"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$=\\frac{21}{3}+\\frac{1}{3}$$"}]}, {"_value": "(Step 3)"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${={22\\over3}}$$"}]}, {"_value": "(Step 4)"}]}]}]}]}
Explain what Ben did in each step.
