Lesson 4
How Many Groups? (Part 1)
Problem 1
Consider the problem: A shopper buys cat food in bags of 3 lbs. Her cat eats \(\frac34\) lb each week. How many weeks does one bag last?
-
Draw a diagram to represent the situation and label your diagram so it can be followed by others. Answer the question.
-
Write a multiplication or division equation to represent the situation.
-
Multiply your answer in the first question (the number of weeks) by \(\frac34\). Did you get 3 as a result? If not, revise your previous work.
