Problem 1:
Rachel filled a box that can hold 8 pounds to 2/4 full.
We need to find how much weight is in the box.
Step 1: Simplify 2/4 → it’s the same as 1/2.
Step 2: Half of 8 pounds = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 pounds.
✔ Answer:
A) 4 pounds

Problem 2:
Billy stacked 6 pieces of wood. Each piece is 3/4 foot tall.
How tall is the whole pile?
Step 1: Multiply number of pieces by height per piece:
6 × 3/4 = (6 × 3) / 4 = 18/4
Step 2: Simplify 18/4 → divide 18 by 4 = 4 with remainder 2 → so 4 and 2/4 → which simplifies to 4 and 1/2.
✔ Answer:
B) 4 1/2 feet

Problem 3:
Monday: snowed 9 inches.
Tuesday: snowed 1/2 of that amount.
How much on Tuesday?

Problem 4:
Each day, company uses 7/10 of a box.
After 3 days, how many boxes used?
Step 1: Multiply daily use by number of days:
3 × 7/10 = 21/10
Step 2: Convert improper fraction to mixed number:
21 ÷ 10 = 2 with remainder 1 → so 2 1/10.
✔ Answer:
C) 2 1/10 of a box

Problem 5:
Store has 4 boxes of video games.
Each day they sell 1/5 of a box.
How many days to sell all?
Step 1: Total boxes = 4
Daily sales = 1/5 box
To find days: divide total by daily rate → 4 ÷ (1/5)
Dividing by a fraction = multiplying by its reciprocal → 4 × 5 = 20 days.
✔ Answer:
B) 20 days

Problem 6:
One glass = 1/8 liter.
Jug holds 3 liters.
How many glasses to fill jug?
Step 1: Divide total volume by size per glass → 3 ÷ (1/8)
Again, dividing by fraction → multiply by reciprocal → 3 × 8 = 24 glasses.
✔ Answer:
B) 24 glasses *(Note: Option B says “24 glasses” even though it’s cut off — we assume that’s what it says based on context)*
