1/4 + 7/12 is larger than 1/2 + 1/6 because, 1/4 on the clock is 15 minutes, & 7/12 is 35 minutes.

15 minutes + 35 minutes = 50 minutes (10/12)

1/2 on the clock is 30 minutes, & 1/6 on the clock is 10 minutes.

30 minutes + 10 minutes = 40 minutes. (4/6 or 40/60)

a. all of the stops ended at the finish line.
b. we used the "clock method" to find out how many km each stop was.

this game is fun because, you have to satisfy your customers by making their pizza order.
for example: if they say they want an extra small pizza (which is $4.00 = 4 slices) and they want "1/4 bacon, 1/4 pepperoni, 1/2 mushroom" you have to put that on their pizza.

7.we divided 60 (60 km) by twelve, six, and three. the patterns i saw were, about every 2ND marker, there were points that were at the same place.

8. 1/4 into 16 is 4 because, 16 divided by 4 = 4. 3/4 into 16 is 12 because, since 1/4 into 16 is 4, you just have to multiply 4 by 3 (3/4) which equals 12.

9. 1/2 + 1/3 does not equal 2/5
to answer this question, you can use money to make it easier. 1/2 of 100 (happy number) would be 50 & 1/3 would be 75. 1/5 of 100 would be 20(x2=40) 40 cents.

2/5 = 40 cents
1/2 + 1/3 = 75 cents
^^NOT EQUAL !
