Multiple Representations What decimal, fraction, and percent equivalencies are shown in each model? Explain.

a. _____________________________________
Answer:
The first model is made of 100 boxes, 13 of which are shaded. So,
\(\frac{13}{100}\) = 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13 = 13%
are the shown equivalencies

b. _____________________________________
Answer:
The second model is made out of two 10 × 10 grids. The first is completely shaded, and the other one has 30 of 100 boxes shaded with the same color.
As in the example from the book right before this task, this model represents a percentage greater than 100%. So?

Essential Question Check-In

Question 6.
How does the definition of percent help you write fraction and decimal equivalents?
Answer:
The definition from page 203:
A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
So, a ratio of a form x: 100 is called a percent and also written as x%
We also know how to convert ratios to fractions (the first term of the ratio is the numerator, and the second term is the denominator), and how to write fractions as decimal numbers (divide the numerator with the denominator)

So, we can conclude that
x% = x : 100 = \(\frac{x}{100}\) = x ÷ 100
for any number x.

Write each percent as a fraction and as a decimal.

Question 1.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas Suppose you want to model the difference -4 – 7. Do you need to add zero pairs? If so, why? How many should you add? What is the difference?
Answer:
You want to model:
– 4 – 7
First represent – 4 with 4 red counters.
You need to add some zero pairs because you need to remove 7 yellow counters
Since you need to remove 7 yellow counters, you should add 7 zero pairs.
When you remove yellow counters, there are 11 red counters left so the difference is:
– 4 – 7 = – 11
There are 4 red counters so you should add 7 zero pairs in order to eliminate 7 yellow counters.
There are 11 red counters Left so the difference is – 11.

Go Math Grade 6 Lesson 5.3 Answer Key Question 2.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas Describe how to find 5 – (-8) on a number line. If you found the difference using counters, would you get the same result? Explain.
Answer:
You want to find:
5 – (- 8)
Subtracting – 8 is equal to adding 8
so you find the sum
5 + 8
in order to find previous differences.
Graph number line with units.
Start at 5 and move 8 units right to represent adding 8.
The difference is 13 because it is 13 units right from 0 on the number line.

To find the difference using counters, start with 5 yellow counters to represent 5.
Add 8 zero pairs and remove 8 red counters to represent subtracting – 8
When you remove red counters, there are 13 yellow counters left so the difference is 13.

Subtracting – 8 is equal to adding its opposite 8 so find the sum 5 + 8 to find the difference 5 – (- 8).
The result is 13 because it is 13 units right from 0 on the number line.
You would get the same result if you used counters because there would be 13 yellow counters left.

Question 3.
What If? In Example 1, the temperature rose by 3 °C. Suppose it fell from -2 °C to -10 °C. Predict whether the change in temperature would be positive or negative. Then subtract to find the change.
Answer:
The temperature was – 2 °C and fell to -10 °C so the change in temperature would be negative.
To find change in temperature, subtract first measured temperature from final temperature
– 10 – (- 2)
Subtracting – 2 is equal to adding its additive inverse 2 so you find sum:
– 10 + 2

Question 4.
Jim and Carla are scuba diving. Jim started out 10 feet below the surface. He descended 18 feet, rose 5 feet, and descended 12 more feet. Then he rested. Carla started out at the surface. She descended 20 feet, rose 5 feet, and descended another 18 feet. Then she rested. Which person rested at a greater depth? Explain.
Answer:
Use negative integer to represent Jim’s start because he started out below the surface.
Subtract integer if he descended and add integer if he rose.
The expression you get is:
– 10 – 18 + 5 – 12
Subtracting 18 and 12 is equal to adding additive inverses – 18 and – 12 so you can find sum:
– 10 + (- 18) + 5 + (- 12)
Use Commutative Property and Associative Property to simplify addition:
– 10 + (- 18) + (- 12) + 5
– 10 – ((- 18) + (- 12)) + 5
Use rules for adding integers to get the sum in brackets and to get the final result:
– 10 + (-30) + 5
– 40 + 5 = – 35
Therefore, Jim’s position is:
– 10 – 18 + 5 – 12 = – 35

0 represents Carla’s start because she started out at the surface.
Subtract integer if she descended and add integer if she rose.
The expression you get is:
0 – 20 + 5 – 18
Subtracting 20 and 18 is equal to adding additive inverses – 20 and – 18 so you can find sum:
0 + (- 20) + 5 + (- 18)
Use Commutative Property to simplify addition:
o + (- 20) + (- 18) + 5
Use rules for adding integers to get the final result:
– 20 + (- 18) + 5
– 38 + 5 = – 33
therefore, Carla’s position is:
0 – 20 + 5 – 18 = – 33

– 35 < – 33
Jim rested at a greater depth because his position white resting was 35 feet below the surface.
Carla’s position while resting was 33 feet below the surface.

Question 1.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas When adding two numbers with the same sign, what sign do you use for the sum?
Answer:
The sum of two positive numbers is a positive number
The sum of two negative numbers is a negative number.
So, when you add two numbers with the same sign the sum has exactly that sign

Go Math Grade 6 Lesson 5.1 Answer Key Question 2.
What If? Suppose the temperature is – 1°F and drops by 3°F. Explain how to use the number line to find the new temperature.
Answer:
First graph number line with units.
Start at 0 and move 1 unit left to represent number – 1.
Then, start at – 1 move 3 units left (because the temperature drops by 3), and read the new temperature from the number line.

Graph:

New temperature would be – 4 because it is 4 units left from 0 on the number line.

Question 3.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas How would using a number line to find the sum 2 + 5 be different from using a number line to find the sum – 2 + (- 5)?
Answer:
To find 2 + 5 on number line you start at 0, then move 2 units right and then move 5 units also right

To find – 2 + (- 5) on number line you start at 0, then move 2 units left and then move 5 units also left
So, only difference is where you move, left or right.

It is different direction of moving on number line.
For positive right, for negative left.

Question 4.
Analyze Relationships What are two other negative integers that have the same sum as – 2 and – 5?
Answer:
First, graph number line with units.
Start at 0 and move 2 unit left to represent number – 2.
Then, start at – 2 and move 5 units left to add – 5 and read sum from number Line. It would be – 7.
So, it is 7 units left from 0, and you also could move 3 units left and then 4 units left and to be again 7 units left from 0.
Thus:
– 2 + (-5) = – 3 + (- 4)

Two other negative integers that have the same sum as – 2 and – 5 are -3 and -4.

Question 5.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas Does the Commutative Property of Addition apply when you add two negative integers? Explain.
Answer:
It does.
You can apply Commutative Property when you add two negative integers because in both cases sum would be negative and equal minus sum of absolute values of that integer.

Example:
– 4 + (- 8) = – (|- 4| + |- 8|) = – (4 + 8)
– 8 + (- 4) = – (|- 8| + |- 4|) = – (8 + 4)
– (4 + 8) = – (8 + 4) → – 4 + (- 8) = – 8 + (- 4)

1 + 0 + 1 = 2 (last 1 is hundred from adding tens)
Finally, write 2 for hundreds:

Final result is 261.

First add ones, then tens and then hundreds Result is 261.

Grade 6 Module 5 Answer Key Go Math Question 6.

Answer:
First, Subtract ones.
Note that 7 < 8, so regroup 1 ten as 10 ones
7 ones + 10 ones = 17 ones (and 6 tens left)
Now, 17 – 8 = 9

Then, Subtract tens.
Note that 6 < 8, so regroup 1 hundred as 10 tens.
6 ones + 10 ones = 16 ones
Now, 16 – 8 = 8:

Then, subtract hundreds. Because 5 > 2 only subtract them:
5 – 2 = 3
Finally:

Final result is 389.

First add ones, then tens and then hundreds Result is 389.

Question 7.

Answer:
First, add ones:
8 + 2 = 10
Now, 10 ones equals 1 ten plus 0.

Then, add tens:
8 + 0 + 1 = 0 (1 is ten from adding ones)
Now, write 9 for tens.

Then, add hundreds:
1 + 9 = 10
Now, 10 hundreds equals 1 thousand plus 0 hundred

Finally, add thousand:
1 + 0 + 1 = 2 (1 is thousand from adding hundreds)

Now, write 2 for thousand:

Final result is 2090.

First add ones, then tens, then hundreds and finally thousands Result is 2090.

Question 8.

Answer:
First, Subtract ones. Because 7 > 5 only subtract them:
7 – 5 = 2
Now:

Then, subtract tens
Note that 4 < 8, so regroup 1 hundred as 10 tens
4 ones + 10 ones = 14 ones (and 5 hundreds left)
Now, 14 – 8 = 6:

Then, subtract hundreds.
Note that 5 < 8, so regroup 1 thousand as 10 hundreds.
5 hundreds + 10 hundreds = 15 hundreds (and 1 thousand left)
Now, 15 – 8 = 7

First, subtract thousands:
1 – 1 = 0
Now:

Final result is 762.

First subtract ones, then tens, then hundreds and then thousands.
Regroup if necessary. Result is 762.

Question 32.
Represent Real-World Problems Jim is standing beside a pool. He drops a weight from 4 feet above the surface of the water in the pool. The weight travels a total distance of 12 feet down before landing on the bottom of the pool. Explain how you can write a sum of integers to find the depth of the water.
Answer:
Jim drops a weight from 4 feet above the surface and it travels 12 feet down until landing on the bottom so the sum that represents the depth of the water is:
4 + (- 12)
To calculate the sum, subtract lesser absolute value from greater:
|- 12| – |4| = 8
Result would be 8 or – 8, depending on signs of given integers
Use the sign of number with greater absolute value to find result:
4 + (- 12) = – 8
Since you want to find the depth of the water, use the absolute value of the result because the depth of the water is positive number. The depth of the water is 8 feet.

Sum that represents the depth is 4 + (-12).
The absolute value of this sum is the depth of the water and that would be 8 feet

Question 33.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas Use counters to model two integers with different signs whose sum is positive. Explain how you know the sum is positive.
Answer:
Yellow counters represent positive integer and red counters represent negative integer.
To model positive sum of two integers with different sign, take some yellow and some red counters and let there be more yellow counters.
Form and eliminate zero pairs.
When you remove zero pairs, there are some yellow counters left so the sum is positive.

For example:

There are more yellow than red counters When you remove zero pairs, there would be some yellow counters left so the sum is positive.

Question 34.
Analyze Relationships You know that the sum of – 5 and another integer is a positive integer. What can you conclude about the sign of the other integer? What can you conclude about the value of the other integer? Explain.
Answer:
Since the sum of – 5 and another integer is positive, that other integer is positive.
In case second integer is negative, the sum would be negative, too, which is not correct.
To find the sum of – 5 and another integer, you subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater and then you use the sign of number with greater absolute value.
Therefore, you would use the sign of that other integer so the absolute value of that integer is greater than absolute value of – 5

The sign of second integer is positive because the sum is positive
Absolute value of second integer is greater than absolute value of – 5 because you use the sign of number with greater absolute value to find the sum of integers with different signs.

Question 11.
Eva wants to make two pieces of pottery. She needs \(\frac{3}{5}\) pound of clay for one piece and \(\frac{7}{10}\) pound of clay for the other piece. She has three bags of clay that weigh \(\frac{4}{5}\) pound each. How many bags of clay will Eva need to make both pieces of pottery? How many pounds of clay will she have left over?
Answer:
First, we will calculate how much clay she needs. We will sum \(\frac{3}{5}\) and \(\frac{7}{10}\) and get:
\(\frac{3}{5}+\frac{7}{10}=\frac{6+7}{10}=\frac{13}{10}\)
So, she needs \(\frac{13}{10}\) pounds of clay.
Now, we will calculate how much clay she has, we will multiply 3 by \(\frac{4}{5}\) and get:
3 × \(\frac{4}{5}=\frac{3 \times 4}{1 \times 5}=\frac{12}{5}\)
In order to find how many bags of clay Eva will need to make both pieces of pottery, we will divide \(\frac{13}{10}\) by \(\frac{4}{5}\) and get:

So, she will need 2 bags of clay to make two pieces of pottery.
Now, we will calculate how many pounds of clay she will have left over subtracting \(\frac{13}{8}\) from \(\frac{12}{5}\) and get:
\(\frac{12}{5}-\frac{13}{8}=\frac{96-65}{40}=\frac{31}{40}\)
So, she will have \(\frac{31}{10}\) pounds of clay left over.

You need \(\frac{3}{8}\) cup of walnuts for the oatmeal and \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup of walnuts for the salad. You have a \(\frac{1}{4}\)-cup scoop. Describe two different ways to find how many scoops of walnuts you will need.
Answer:
First way is to add \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{3}{8}\) in order to find how many cups of walnut we need.
\(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6+3}{8}=\frac{9}{8}\)
Now, we will divide \(\frac{9}{8}\) by \(\frac{1}{4}\) and get:

The other way is to convert fractions to a decimals and divide like that. Here, \(\frac{9}{8}\) = 1.125 and \(\frac{1}{25}\) = 0.25. but first we need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 100. and then multiply the dividend by the same power of 100.  In this case we have the following:

So, we will need 4.5 or 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) scoops of walnuts.

Nadia charges $7.50 an hour for babysitting. She babysits 18.5 hours the first week of the month and 20 hours the second week of the month.

Question 16.
Explain the Error To find her total earnings for those two weeks, Nadia writes 7.5 × 18.5 + 20 = $158.75. Explain her error. Show the correct solution.
Answer:
The error is this:
7.5 × 18.5 + 7.5 × 20 = 288.75, she should multiply the rate she charges with both the set of hours she worked and not just one. It can also be done using bracket operation : (20 + 18.5) × 7.5 = 288.75

Go Math Lesson 4.3 6th Grade Multiplication and Division of Rational Numbers Question 17.
What If? Suppose Nadia raises her rate by $0.75 an hour. How many hours would she need to work to earn the same amount of money she made in the first two weeks of the month? Explain.
Answer:
Nadia earned in the past two weeks the following sum of money:
7.50 × (18.5 + 20) = 7.50 × 38.5 = 288.75
Now, Nadia raised her rate by $0.75 an hour. so, now she charges:
0.75 × 7.50 = 5.625
we will divide 288.75 by 5.625 in order to find how many hours she will need to work, but first, we need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 1000, and then multiplying the dividend by the same power of 1000 and get:

So, she will need to work 51.3 hours in the first two weeks of the month to earn the same amount of money as before.

Brenda is planning her birthday party. She wants to have 10.92 liters of punch, 6.5 gallons of ice cream, 3.9 pounds of fudge, and 25 guests at the birthday party.
a. Brenda and each guest drink the same amount of punch. How many liters of punch will each person drink? ______________________
Answer:
Because Brenda has 10.92 liters of punch and 25 guests, we need to divide 10.92 by 26 in order to get how many liters of punch each person will drink, but first we need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 100, and then multiply the dividend by the same power of 100.

So, we can notice that each person, including Brenda will drink 0.42 liters of punch.

b. Brenda and each guest eat the same amount of ice cream. How many gallons of ice cream will each person eat? ___________________
Answer:
Brenda has 6.5 gallons of ice cream and 25 guests. so. we need to divide 6.5 by 26 in order to get how many gallons of ice cream each person will eat, but first we need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 10, and then multiply the dividend by the same power of 10

So, each person, including Brenda will eat 0.25 gallons of ice cream.

c. Brenda and each guest eat the same amount of fudge. How many pounds of fudge will each person eat? ____________________
Answer:
Brenda has 3.9 pounds of fudge and 25 guests, so we need to divide 3.9 by 26 in order to get how many pounds of fudge each person will eat, but first We need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 10. and then multiply the dividend by the same power of 10.

So, each person including Brenda, will eat 0.15 pounds of fudge.

To make costumes for a play, Cassidy needs yellow and white fabric that she will cut into strips. The table shows how many yards of each fabric she needs, and how much she will pay for those yards.

Question 30.
Which costs more per yard, the yellow fabric or the white fabric?
Answer:
We will first calculate how much costs the yellow fabric per yard dividing 86.40 by 12.8, hut first we need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 10. and then multiply the dividend by the same power of 10

So, the yellow fabric costs $ 6.75 per yard.
Now, we will calculate how much costs the white fabric per yard dividing 45.60 by 9.5, but first we need to change the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by a power of 10, and then multiply the dividend by the same power of 10

So, the white fabric costs $ 4.8 per yard.
Conclusion is that the yellow fabric costs more per yard.

Question 31.
Cassidy wants to cut the yellow fabric into strips that are 0.3 yards wide.
How many whole strips of yellow fabric can Cassidy make?
Answer:
The divisor has one decimal place, so multiply both the dividend and the divisor by 10 so that the divisor is a whole number

0.3 × 10 = 3
12.8 × 10 = 128

Cassidy make 42 strips of yellow fabric.
