Steve ran $$\frac{3}{4}$$ mile and Jenna ran $$\frac{4}{4}$$ of a mile. Did Steve and Jenna run the same distance?

Math Idea
If two numbers are located at the same point on a number line, then they are equal and represent the same distance from zero.

Locate $$\frac{3}{4}$$ and $$\frac{4}{4}$$ on a number line.

• Label the number line.
• Draw a point at $$\frac{3}{4}$$ and $$\frac{4}{4}$$.

Since the distance ________ and _______ are not at the same point, they are not the same distance from zero.
__________, Steve and Jenna did not run the same distance.
Answer:
$$\frac{3}{4}$$ and $$\frac{4}{4}$$.

Explanation:

The distance $$\frac{3}{4}$$ and $$\frac{4}{4}$$ is not at the same point, they are not the same distance from zero.
Hence, Steve and Jenna did not run the same distance.

Try This! Complete the number line. Locate and draw points at $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{2}{2}$$.

Think: Do the distances end at the same point?
A. Are $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and 1 the same distance from zero? Explain.
Answer:
No, they are not at the same point

Explanation:

The distance $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is not at the same point, they are not the same distance from zero

B. Are $$\frac{2}{2}$$ and 1 the same distance from zero? Explain.
Answer:
Yes, they are at the same point.

Explanation:
The given fractions $$\frac{2}{2}$$ and 1 the same distance from zero which is mentioned in the number line.

Problem Solving

H.O.T. What’s the Error?

Question 7.
Andrea and Elaina were making material bags. Andrea bought $$\frac{4}{8}$$ of a yard of material and Elaina bought $$\frac{1}{2}$$ yard of material. Elaina said she bought more material than Andrea did.

Analyze Look at how Elaina solved the problem. Find her error.

Use Math Language Describe Elaina’s error.
Answer:
No, Elaina and Andrea bought the same amount of material.

Explanation:
Andrea bought $$\frac{4}{8}$$ of material and Elaina bought $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of material. Therefore by comparing both we can say that both bought the same amount of material.

Question 8.
H.O.T. Multi-Step Jeff rode his bike around a bike trail that was $$\frac{1}{4}$$ mile long. He rode around the trail 4 times. Dexter rode around the trail 2 times. Complete the number line to show the distances that Jeff and Dexter rode.

Use Tools Did Dexter ride the same distance as Jeff? Explain how you know.
Answer:
No. Dexter rides the same distance as Jeff.

Explanation:
Jeff rode his bike at $$\frac{1}{4}$$ mile long. He rode 4 trails. That means jeff rode at a fraction of $$\frac{4}{4}$$.
Dexter rode around 2 trail times. That means Dexter rode $$\frac{2}{4}$$.

Problem Solving

Question 7.
Harley and Noreen were making kites. Harley has $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of a yard of yellow kite string. Noreen has $$\frac{6}{8}$$ of a yard of green kite string. She says that she has more kite string than Harley. How can Harley draw a number line to show that Noreen is incorrect? Write a sentence to explain how you solved the problem.

Answer:
No, the statement is incorrect.

Explanation:
They both have the same amount of string. As Harley has $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of a yard of yellow string. Noreen has $$\frac{6}{8}$$ of a yard of the green kite. Hence they both have the same amount of string.

Question 8.
Harley gets another $$\frac{1}{8}$$ yard of kite string. How much string does he have now?
Answer:
$$\frac{7}{8}$$

Explanation:
As Harley has $$\frac{3}{4}$$ and another $$\frac{1}{8}$$ yard. Therefore the string he has now is $$\frac{3}{4}$$+$$\frac{1}{8}$$ = $$\frac{3}{4}$$.
