Lesson 3 Cool-Down
Find the value of each expression and show your reasoning.
1.56+0.083
0.2−0.05
Show Solution
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.

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:
9.999−1.192=8.807. Adding 0.001 to 8.807 gives 8.808.

Lesson 5 Cool-Down
Use what you know about decimals or fractions to explain why (0.2)⋅(0.002)=0.0004.
A rectangular plot of land is 0.4 kilometer long and 0.07 kilometer wide. What is its area in square kilometers?
Show Solution
Sample response: 0.2 is 102, and 0.002 is 1,0002. Multiplying the two we have: 102⋅1,0002=10,0004, which is 0.0004.
0.028 square kilometers, because (0.4)⋅(0.07)=0.028

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. Then I added the two answers to get $6.36.
