OBSERVE: -THE NUMBERS ARE INCREASING IN 2 LB INCREMENTS -THE LONGER LINE BETWEEN THE NUMBERS REPRESENT AN ODD NUMBER -THE SMALL LINES REPRESENT ¼ LB INCREMENTS THIS INDICATOR REPRESENTS 50LB INCREMENTS

COMBINING WHOLE NUMBERS WITH FRACTIONS 4 SQUARES 2 ½ SQUARES THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SQUARES IS : 6 ½ SQUARES

AS IN THE PREVIOUS EXAMPLE WE CAN APPLY THIS CONCEPT WHEN MEASURING WEIGHTS. Example: A)50 LB + 10 ¼ LB = 60 ¼ LB B) 100 LB + 12 ¾ LB = 112 ¾ LB C) 50 LB + 40 ½ LB = D) 150 LB + 32 ¾ LB = 90 ½ LB 182 ¾ LB

HEIGHT ROD

NOTES WHEN USING THE TAPE MEASURE WITH INCREMENTS OF 1/8, THE MEASUREMENTS WILL BE GIVEN IN ¼ WHEN USING THE HEIGHT ROD, THE INCREMENTS ARE GOING BY 1/4

LET’S LEARN HOW THE RULE IS DIVIDED IN FRACTIONS 1/2 1/43/4 WHAT IS THE MEASURE? 2 ½ in2 ¼ in 2 ¾ in

IDENTIFY THE MEASURE FOR EACH OF THE ARROWS!! 4 ½ in 6 ¾ in 1 ¼ in

INCHES TO FEET REMEMBER !! : 1 FEET = 12 INCHES TO TURN INCHES INTO FEET: – DIVIDE IT BY 12 – THE WHOLE NUMBER IS THE NUMBER OF FEET. – HOW MANY INCHES IN THIS WHOLE NUMBER? – SUBSTRACT THIS NUMBER OF INCHES FROM THE ORIGINAL MEASUREMENT

76 IN TO FEET DIVIDE: 76/12 = 6 FEET AND A PART IN INCHES IN 6 FEET = 72 IN 76 – 72 = 4 IN HEIGHT IN FEET: 6 FEET 4 IN
