Lesson 3 Cool-Down

Find the value of each expression and show your reasoning.

  1. 1.56+0.0831.56 + 0.083
  2. 0.20.050.2 - 0.05
Show Solution
  1. 1.643. Sample reasoning: Six hundredths and 8 hundredths make 14 hundredths, or 1 tenth and 4 hundredths. The sum has 1 one, 6 tenths, 4 hundredths, and 3 thousandths.

Lesson 4 Cool-Down

A runner has run 1.192 kilometers of a 10-kilometer race. How much farther does she need to run to finish the race? Show your reasoning.

Show Solution

8.808 kilometers. Sample reasoning:

  • 9.9991.192=8.8079.999 - 1.192 = 8.807. Adding 0.001 to 8.807 gives 8.808.

Lesson 5
Using Fractions to Multiply Decimals
Lesson 5 Cool-Down
  1. Use what you know about decimals or fractions to explain why (0.2)(0.002)=0.0004(0.2) \boldcdot (0.002)= 0.0004.

  2. A rectangular plot of land is 0.4 kilometer long and 0.07 kilometer wide. What is its area in square kilometers?
Show Solution
  1. Sample response: 0.2 is 210\frac{2}{10}, and 0.002 is 21,000\frac{2}{1,000}. Multiplying the two we have: 21021,000=410,000\frac{2}{10} \boldcdot \frac{2}{1,000} = \frac{4}{10,000}, which is 0.0004.
  2. 0.028 square kilometers, because (0.4)(0.07)=0.028(0.4) \boldcdot (0.07)=0.028

Problem 4

Four runners are training for long races. Noah ran 5.123 miles, Andre ran 6.34 miles, Jada ran 7.1 miles, and Diego ran 8 miles.

  1. What is the total running distance of the four runners?

  2. Compared to Noah, how much farther did Jada run?

Show Solution
  1. 26.563 miles
  2. 1.977 miles
Problem 5

One way to compute a 15% tip for a bill is to multiply it by 0.15.

A restaurant bill was $42.40. Calculate the tip. Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution

$6.36. Sample reasoning: I multiplied 42.40 by 0.1 to get 4.24 and then found half of that to get (0.05)(42.40)=2.12(0.05) \boldcdot (42.40) = 2.12. Then I added the two answers to get $6.36.
