'Fractions of groups or money' for 5th grade
5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people / Fractions of groups or money
Calculate fractions of amounts
This topic is intended to help you learn or revise how to calculate a fraction of an integer. This type of calculation has many real-world applications like working out your portion of a restaurant bill or other shared cost.
So, if you needed to calculate ⅝ of $32, you could start by working out what ⅛ of 32 is, and multiply that number by 5. So,
⅛ of 32 is equivalent to 32 / 8 = 4 and ...
5 x 4 = 20 so ...
⅝ of $32 = ( 32 ÷ 8 ) x 5 = $20
As another example, in the first question from the lesson you are asked to calculate ⅖ of 40 students. There are many ways to work this out, but one way is:
(40 x 2) ÷ 5
Since 40 is divisible by 5 we could cross-cancel first which gives us:
(8 x 2) ÷ 1
So we can see that ⅖ of 40 students is 16 students.
