Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, ๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ + ๐˜ค/๐˜ฅ = (๐˜ข๐˜ฅ + ๐˜ฃ๐˜ค)/๐˜ฃ๐˜ฅ.)
Interpret the product (๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ) ร— ๐˜ฒ as a parts of a partition of ๐˜ฒ into ๐˜ฃ equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of operations ๐˜ข ร— ๐˜ฒ รท ๐˜ฃ. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) ร— 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation. Do the same with (2/3) ร— (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (๐˜ข/๐˜ฃ) ร— (๐˜ค/๐˜ฅ) = ๐˜ข๐˜ค/๐˜ฃ๐˜ฅ.)
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form ๐˜น + ๐˜ฑ = ๐˜ฒ and ๐˜ฑ๐˜น = ๐˜ฒ for cases in which ๐˜ฑ, ๐˜ฒ and ๐˜น are all nonnegative rational numbers.
Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
