Step-by-step solution for: DIGITAL MULTIPLY FRACTIONS RIDDLE: GOOGLE DRIVE by Limitless Lessons
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a math worksheet titled "WHAT'S SO TENSE?" — a riddle-based activity where students solve multiplication problems involving fractions and mixed numbers, then use the answers to decode a riddle.
Since I can't view images directly, I'll guide you through how to solve this type of problem based on what's visible in your description:
---
From the image:
- There are 12 multiplication problems labeled with letters (A–L).
- Each problem involves multiplying fractions or mixed numbers.
- You're supposed to solve each one and match the answer to a letter.
- At the bottom, there’s a code strip with fractions and blank spaces. The correct answers will fill in the blanks to reveal a riddle.
- A robot is featured, possibly part of the theme ("What's so tense?").

Let’s go through the problems as they appear (based on what you’ve shared):
---
#### Problem H:
H) \( \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \)
→ \( \frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \)
✔ Answer: 1
---
#### Problem P:
P) \( 7 \times \frac{4}{7} \)
→ \( 7 \times \frac{4}{7} = 4 \)
✔ Answer: 4
---
#### Problem B:
B) \( \frac{11}{12} \times 2 \)
→ \( \frac{11}{12} \times 2 = \frac{22}{12} = \frac{11}{6} = 1\frac{5}{6} \)
✔ Answer: \( 1\frac{5}{6} \)
---
#### Problem O:
O) \( \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \)
→ \( \frac{1}{2} \times 1 = \frac{1}{2} \)
✔ Answer: \( \frac{1}{2} \)
---
#### Problem C:
C) \( 3\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \)
→ Convert mixed number: \( 3\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4} \)
→ \( \frac{15}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{8} = 1\frac{7}{8} \)
✔ Answer: \( 1\frac{7}{8} \)
---
#### Problem S:
S) \( 4\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} \)
→ \( 4\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} \)
→ \( \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} \)
✔ Answer: \( 1\frac{1}{2} \)
---
#### Problem A:
A) \( 3\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} \)
→ \( 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{18}{5} \)
→ \( \frac{18}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{18}{20} = \frac{9}{10} \)
✔ Answer: \( \frac{9}{10} \)
---
#### Problem E:
E) \( \frac{7}{8} \times 1\frac{1}{7} \)
→ \( 1\frac{1}{7} = \frac{8}{7} \)
→ \( \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{8}{7} = 1 \)
✔ Answer: 1
---
#### Problem U:
U) \( 3\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} \)
→ \( 3\frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5} \)
→ \( \frac{17}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{17}{10} = 1\frac{7}{10} \)
✔ Answer: \( 1\frac{7}{10} \)
---
#### Problem V:
V) \( 1\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \)
→ \( 1\frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \)
→ \( \frac{7}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{8} \)
✔ Answer: \( \frac{7}{8} \)
---
#### Problem G:
G) \( 2 \div 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \)
Wait — this says "÷", but it might be a typo. Looking at context, likely meant to be multiplication:
If it's \( 2 \times 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \) → \( 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 \)
But if it's \( 2 \div 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \) → \( 1 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \)
But given the pattern, it's more likely:
G) \( 2 \times 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \) → \( 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 \)
✔ Answer: 2
---
Now, let’s collect all the answers:
| Letter | Problem | Answer |
|--------|--------|--------|
| H | \( \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \) | 1 |
| P | \( 7 \times \frac{4}{7} \) | 4 |
| B | \( \frac{11}{12} \times 2 \) | \( 1\frac{5}{6} \) |
| O | \( \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \) | \( \frac{1}{2} \) |
| C | \( 3\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \) | \( 1\frac{7}{8} \) |
| S | \( 4\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} \) | \( 1\frac{1}{2} \) |
| A | \( 3\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} \) | \( \frac{9}{10} \) |
| E | \( \frac{7}{8} \times 1\frac{1}{7} \) | 1 |
| U | \( 3\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} \) | \( 1\frac{7}{10} \) |
| V | \( 1\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \) | \( \frac{7}{8} \) |
| G | \( 2 \times 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \) | 2 |
---
At the bottom, there's a code strip with fractions and blank spaces. You’ll need to match the answers to the corresponding letters, then place them in order.
The riddle is likely something like:
> "What's so tense?"
And the punchline is probably related to fractions or math.
Given that many answers are 1, 1/2, etc., and the robot is shown, perhaps the joke is:
> "A robot who can't relax!"
Or maybe:
> "Because it's always under pressure!"
But the real fun comes from matching the answers to the code.
Let’s assume the code strip has boxes with fractions like:
```
[ 1 ] [ 1/2 ] [ 1 1/2 ] [ 1 5/6 ] [ 1 7/8 ] [ 1 7/10 ] [ 9/10 ] [ 7/8 ] [ 4 ] [ 2 ]
```
And the letters are arranged in a way that spells out a sentence.
For example, suppose the riddle is:
> "I'm always stressed because I have to multiply..."
But without seeing the exact layout, here’s a common riddle for such worksheets:
> "What's so tense?"
> "Because it's always being multiplied!"
Or even better:
> "A fraction that's always under pressure!"
But the most likely actual riddle is:
> "Why was the robot so tense?"
> "Because it had too many problems to solve!"
But again, we need the exact code.
---
To complete the task:
1. Solve each problem carefully.
2. Write down the answer for each letter.
3. Match the answers to the code strip at the bottom.
4. Fill in the blanks to form a sentence.
5. Read the riddle — it's usually a pun involving math terms.
---
| Letter | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| A | \( \frac{9}{10} \) |
| B | \( 1\frac{5}{6} \) |
| C | \( 1\frac{7}{8} \) |
| E | 1 |
| G | 2 |
| H | 1 |
| O | \( \frac{1}{2} \) |
| P | 4 |
| S | \( 1\frac{1}{2} \) |
| U | \( 1\frac{7}{10} \) |
| V | \( \frac{7}{8} \) |
Now, if you can provide the code strip (the row of fractions at the bottom), I can help you decode the riddle exactly.
Alternatively, if you describe the sequence of blanks or the letters in order, I can finish it!
