Step-by-step solution for: Spring Themed Fraction Color By Number {Add Subtract Multiply ...
Problem Description:
The image shows a worksheet titled "Adding & Subtracting Fractions." The task involves solving various fraction addition and subtraction problems and then coloring the corresponding parts of a chick based on the answers. Each part of the chick is labeled with a color (e.g., Yellow, Pink, Brown, etc.), and each problem corresponds to one of these colors.
Steps to Solve:
#### 1. Solve Each Fraction Problem:
We will solve each fraction addition or subtraction problem step by step.
---
#### Problem 1: Yellow
$$
\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{7}
$$
- Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 7.
- The LCD of 3 and 7 is 21.
- Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
$$
\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 7}{3 \times 7} = \frac{7}{21}
$$
$$
\frac{2}{7} = \frac{2 \times 3}{7 \times 3} = \frac{6}{21}
$$
- Step 3: Add the fractions.
$$
\frac{7}{21} + \frac{6}{21} = \frac{7 + 6}{21} = \frac{13}{21}
$$
- Answer for Yellow: $\frac{13}{21}$
---
#### Problem 2: Pink
$$
\frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{6}
$$
- Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 6.
- The LCD of 8 and 6 is 24.
- Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
$$
\frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{15}{24}
$$
$$
\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{4}{24}
$$
- Step 3: Add the fractions.
$$
\frac{15}{24} + \frac{4}{24} = \frac{15 + 4}{24} = \frac{19}{24}
$$
- Answer for Pink: $\frac{19}{24}$
---
#### Problem 3: Brown
$$
\frac{5}{6} - \frac{7}{24}
$$
- Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 6 and 24.
- The LCD of 6 and 24 is 24.
- Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
$$
\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{20}{24}
$$
$$
\frac{7}{24} = \frac{7}{24} \quad (\text{already has the LCD})
$$
- Step 3: Subtract the fractions.
$$
\frac{20}{24} - \frac{7}{24} = \frac{20 - 7}{24} = \frac{13}{24}
$$
- Answer for Brown: $\frac{13}{24}$
---
#### Problem 4: Red
$$
\frac{3}{8} + \frac{13}{32}
$$
- Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 32.
- The LCD of 8 and 32 is 32.
- Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
$$
\frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 4}{8 \times 4} = \frac{12}{32}
$$
$$
\frac{13}{32} = \frac{13}{32} \quad (\text{already has the LCD})
$$
- Step 3: Add the fractions.
$$
\frac{12}{32} + \frac{13}{32} = \frac{12 + 13}{32} = \frac{25}{32}
$$
- Answer for Red: $\frac{25}{32}$
---
#### Problem 5: Blue
$$
\frac{17}{20} - \frac{1}{4}
$$
- Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 20 and 4.
- The LCD of 20 and 4 is 20.
- Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
$$
\frac{17}{20} = \frac{17}{20} \quad (\text{already has the LCD})
$$
$$
\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{5}{20}
$$
- Step 3: Subtract the fractions.
$$
\frac{17}{20} - \frac{5}{20} = \frac{17 - 5}{20} = \frac{12}{20}
$$
- Step 4: Simplify the fraction.
$$
\frac{12}{20} = \frac{12 \div 4}{20 \div 4} = \frac{3}{5}
$$
- Answer for Blue: $\frac{3}{5}$
---
#### Problem 6: Green
$$
\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{8}
$$
- Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 4 and 8.
- The LCD of 4 and 8 is 8.
- Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD as the denominator.
$$
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{6}{8}
$$
$$
\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{8} \quad (\text{already has the LCD})
$$
- Step 3: Subtract the fractions.
$$
\frac{6}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{6 - 1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}
$$
- Answer for Green: $\frac{5}{8}$
