Exploring Multistep Fraction Operations

The video tutorial guides students through solving three math problems involving real-world scenarios. Students are instructed to solve each problem, check their work, and identify any mistakes. The problems include calculating fabric needed for aprons, determining the combined weight of thumbtacks, and finding the amount of flour required for chicken batches.

How much fabric does Penny need for making seven aprons if each apron requires three-fourths of a yard?

• 6.5 yards

• 4.75 yards

• 5.5 yards

• 5.25 yards

If Penny needed to make only five aprons, how much fabric would she need?

• 3.5 yards

• 4.25 yards

• 4.5 yards

• 3.75 yards

What is the combined weight of 4 1/7 boxes of thumbtacks if each box weighs 3.5 ounces?

• 14.5 ounces

• 14.75 ounces

• 14.25 ounces

• 15 ounces

If a teacher has 3 boxes of thumbtacks, each weighing 3.5 ounces, what is the total weight?

• 11.5 ounces

• 10 ounces

• 11 ounces

• 10.5 ounces

How much flour is needed for 4 3/7 batches of chicken if each batch requires 3 1/3 cups of flour?

• 14 1/3 cups

• 14 cups

• 14 2/3 cups

• 15 cups

If a fast-food restaurant makes 3 batches of chicken, each requiring 3 1/3 cups of flour, how much flour is needed?

• 9 cups

• 10 cups

• 10 1/3 cups

• 9 1/3 cups
