Fractions
3/4 × 3/8 = ?
- Multiply the numerators: 3 × 3 = 9.
- Multiply the denominators: 4 × 8 = 32.
- So 3/4 × 3/8 = 9/32.
Answer: 9/32
All 5th Grade fractions lessonsVolume
Find the volume of a cube with side length 4 units.
- Volume of a cube = side × side × side.
- 4 × 4 = 16, then 16 × 4 = 64.
- The volume is 64 cubic units.
Answer: 64

The ratio of Tom's crayons to Mia's crayons is 2 : 7. Mia has 75 more crayons than Tom. How many crayons does Tom have?
- Draw Tom's bar as 2 units and Mia's bar as 7 units. Mia's bar is longer by 7 − 2 = 5 units.
- 5 units = 75, so 1 unit = 75 ÷ 5. 75 ÷ 5: take away 5 × 10 = 50 (25 left), 5 × 5 = 25 (0 left). 10 + 5 = 15, so 75 ÷ 5 = 15.
- Tom has 2 units: 2 × 15 = 10 × 2 + 5 × 2 = 20 + 10 = 30.
- Tom has 30 crayons.
Answer: 30

Each X is one bag of beads.
What is the difference in weight between the heaviest bag of beads and the lightest bag of beads?
- The greatest measurement is the X farthest right: 2 1/4. The least is the X farthest left: 1/2.
- Write both with the same denominator, 4: 2 1/4 = 9/4 and 1/2 = 2/4. Subtract: 9/4 − 2/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4.
- So the difference is 1 3/4 pounds.
Answer: 1 3/4
