Students solve three fraction word problems — scaling a recipe, cutting a board into equal pieces, and finding garden area. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank word problems about ribbon portions, a painter's rate, and a partially filled rice bag.
Fraction word problems requiring multiplication and division in recipe, measurement, and area contexts develop the applied reasoning skills students need across all Grade 5 multi-step problem solving.
