standard_description: Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = ad/bc.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
problem_activity: Problem 1
Evaluate the following numerical expressions.
a.
$${-2(5+(3)(-2)+4)}$$
b.
$${-2((5+3)(-2+4))}$$
c.
$${-2(5+3(-2+4))}$$
d.   Can the parentheses in any of these expressions be removed without changing the value of the expression?
Problem 2
An expression is shown below with three expressions that are
not
equivalent to it. Explain the error(s) that were made in writing each expression.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
a.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
$$\neq \frac{3(-4)}{2(3)^2}$$
b.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
$$\neq \frac{6-3(-4)}{(6)^2}$$
c.
$$\frac{6-3(4-8)}{2(1+2)^2}$$
$$\neq \frac{6-12}{(2+4)^2}$$
d.   Evaluate the expression.
Problem 3
Evaluate:
$${\frac{1}{2}(-3-1)^2-\left ( 10 \div \frac{5}{6} \right )}$$
