Lesson 4: Write equations and word problems corresponding to tape and number line diagrams. — Practice Questions

  1. 1. A runner has a 10-mile race to complete. Each water station is located every $\frac{1}{2}$ mile. Which expression shows how many water stations are on the race course?

    • A. $`10 \div \frac{1}{2}`$
    • B. $`\frac{1}{2} \div 10`$
    • C. $`10 \times \frac{1}{2}`$
    • D. $`10 - \frac{1}{2}`$
  2. 2. Liam has $\frac{3}{4}$ of a gallon of paint. He pours it equally into 3 smaller cans. Which expression represents the fraction of a gallon in each can?

    • A. $`3 \div \frac{3}{4}`$
    • B. $`\frac{3}{4} \times 3`$
    • C. $`\frac{3}{4} \div 3`$
    • D. $`3 - \frac{3}{4}`$
  3. 3. The expression $\frac{1}{2} \div 4$ models a story where $\frac{1}{2}$ of a pie is shared among 4 people. In this context, the dividend (total amount) is ___.

  4. 4. A recipe uses $\frac{1}{5}$ of a cup of sugar for 4 servings. The expression $\frac{1}{5} \div 4$ finds the sugar per serving. What number is the divisor in this expression? ___

  5. 5. To model the division $5 \div \frac{1}{2}$ with a tape diagram, you first draw 5 wholes. Each whole is then partitioned into 2 equal parts. What is the total number of parts? ___

  6. 6. A tape diagram is used to model $\frac{1}{4} \div 2$. The portion representing $\frac{1}{4}$ is divided into 2 equal parts. What fraction of the whole does one of these new, smaller parts represent?

    • A. $\frac{1}{2}$
    • B. $\frac{1}{4}$
    • C. $\frac{1}{6}$
    • D. $\frac{1}{8}$
  7. 7. When modeling $6 \div \frac{1}{4}$ with a tape diagram, what is the correct step after drawing a tape showing 6 wholes?

    • A. Partition the entire tape into 4 equal parts.
    • B. Partition each of the 6 wholes into 4 equal parts.
    • C. Shade one-fourth of the entire tape.
    • D. Combine 6 tapes of length $\frac{1}{4}$.
  8. 8. A tape diagram shows 3 wholes. Each whole is partitioned into 5 equal parts to find the total number of smaller sections. This model represents the division expression $3 \div$ ___.

  9. 9. To model $\frac{1}{3} \div 4$, a tape diagram shows $\frac{1}{3}$ of a whole. This shaded part is then split into 4 equal sections. The value of one of these new sections is ___.
