Problem of the Day #8 by Osterhoudt's Wolf Pack https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz At Jimmy's party, 7/12 of his cake was eaten. If he and his sister ate another 1/8 of the cake the next day, how much of the cake is left? en-us 2016-11-02 22:40:14 UTC 2025-12-05 02:13:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Cake.png After you solve the problem, explain how you solved it and why you solved it that way.  Feel free to comment on each other's post as to if you agree or disagree with their answer and why? karen_osterhoudt https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/134950353 2016-11-02 22:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/134950353 I think you need to add up what was eaten of the cake first. https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135047624 ~Joey]]> 2016-11-03 12:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135047624 So I add 7/12 + 1/8.  The least common multiple is 24. https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135047843 ~Lauren]]> 2016-11-03 12:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135047843 Now I need to set up equivalent fractions. https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135049006 7/12 = 14/24
1/8 = 3/24
~Preston]]> 2016-11-03 12:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135049006 Now I add the like fractions to see how much cake was eaten. https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135049542 14/24 + 3/24 = 17/24 of the cake was eaten.
~Elijah]]> 2016-11-03 12:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135049542 To see how much was left I would subtract 17 from 24 to get 7/24 of the cake is left. https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135050011 ~Bennett]]> 2016-11-03 12:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135050011 when i read the problem i thought that he and his sister both ate 1/8 so that would equal 2/8 https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135050891 ~joey]]> 2016-11-03 12:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135050891 how i know to subract is because https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135050987 17 plus 7 will get you to 24 so 17/24 + 7/24 is 24/24

]]> 2016-11-03 12:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135052044 Our answer https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135377856 We found our answer by adding 7/12 + 1/8 which you can't do yet. So, we had to find the LCM of 8 and 12, which is 24. So 7/12 x 2/2 which = 14/24 and then we did 3/24 away from 14/24 which = 11/24. So, there is 11/24 of cake left. ~ Brianna, Regina,Jesus,and Chechan.]]> 2016-11-04 13:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135377856 7/24 of the cake was left https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135379751

]]> 2016-11-04 14:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135386196 There were 7/24 pieces of cake left. First, we put the factors of 8 and 12. The LCM was 24. So, we combined them, and got 11/24. We did it this way because the problem said to add 7/12 and 1/8 which equals 17/24.  Then we subtracted and got 7/24 as our final answer. -- Lily and Preston https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135386334 2016-11-04 14:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135386334 I subtracted 14/24 and 3/24 then I got 11/24 https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135390769 chase]]> 2016-11-04 14:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_osterhoudt/blny1zg5scrz/wish/135390769
