Maya collects stamps. She has 20 stamps in her collection. Four-fifths of her stamps have been canceled. How many of the stamps in Maya’s collection have been canceled?

Find $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of 20.

• Put 20 counters on your Math Board.
Since you want to find $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of the stamps, you should arrange the 20 counters in ________ equal groups.
• Draw the counters in equal groups below. How many counters are in each group? _________

Each group represents __________ of the stamps. Circle $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of the counters.
How many groups did you circle? ___________
How many counters did you circle? ___________
$$\frac{4}{5}$$ of 20 = __________ , or $$\frac{4}{5}$$ × 20 = ______
So, _________ of the stamps have been canceled.

Put 20 counters on above Math Board.
Since I want to find 4/5 of the stamps, I should arrange the 20 counters in 5 equal groups.
Draw the counters in equal groups above. There are 4 counters are in each group.
Each group represents 1/5 of the stamps. Draw a circle 4/5 of the counters.
I circled 4 groups.
I circled 16 counters.
4/5 of 20 =16, or 4/5 × 20 = 16.
So, 16 of the stamps have been canceled.

Example

On your Math Board, use counters to find $$\frac{4}{6}$$ of 12. Explain why the answer is the same as when you found $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of 12.

They are the same because (4/6) = (2/3).
Explanation:
On the above Math Board 12 counters in 6 rows. In each row there are 2 counters. Draw a circle for 8 counters. The number sentences for (4/6) of 12 is 8 and (2/3) of 12 is 8. So both are because (4/6) is equal to (2/3).

Problem Solving

Explain how you solved the problem.

9 + 15 + 9 = 33
In the display there are 33 stamps.
Explanation:
Zack, Teri, and Paco combined the foreign stamps from their collections for a stamp show. Out of their collections, 3/10 of Zack’s stamps, 5/6 of Teri’s stamps, and 3/8 of Paco’s stamps were from foreign countries. Multiply 3/10 with 30 the product is 9. Zack’s stamps are 9. Multiply 5/6 with 18 the product is 15. Teri’s stamps are 15. Multiply 3/8 with 24 the product is 9. Paco’s stamps are 9. I found the fractional part of each persons collection. I added the amounts together. So, 9 + 15 + 9 = 33.
